摘要: Electronic commerce has shown exponential growth over the past
decade, but the impact of COVID-19 has exceeded all expectations. Based
on the theory of planned behavior, this paper aims to investigate the
relationship between consumer ethnocentrism and internet purchase
behavior in times of pandemics. Data was collected from 294 online
purchasers, and the analysis was conducted utilizing a Partial Least Squares
Structural Equation Modeling approach. The results indicate no significant
impact on the relationship between the planned online purchase behavior
and the country of origin when consumers face a health crisis. Additionally,
the outcomes show that attitude toward online shopping positively affects
online purchase behavior.

摘要: Purpose To examine whether the country of origin (COO) effect
actually exists in an e-commerce context, the authors intend to contribute
to the ongoing debate by measuring the COO effect through a series of
connected studies. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on cue
utilization theory, the authors emphasize the urge to investigate the COO
effect in multiple cue settings in order to reveal a more realistic picture of its
actual effect size. In contrast to most prior research, which often does not
analyze COO using methodological plurality and neglects important
contextual factors, the authors employed a four-staged research design in
an attempt to trigger and measure the COO's implicit effect size in today's
pervasive context of online shopping. The importance of brands (inhering
the COO) is decompositionally calculated relative to other extrinsic cues by
applying a Hierarchical Bayes estimation, with the COO impact being
extracted subsequently. Findings The results deepen concerns that the COO
effect actually does not exist, particularly in the more contemporary context
of online shopping. Specifically, preferences for previously favored German
products faded when controlling for brand attitude for both
high-involvement (p = 0.003) and low-involvement products (p = 0.024).
Research limitations/implications The study focused on consumers of
Generation Y, as they represent one of the most important segments in
online shopping. Findings might be replicated for other consumer
generations. The study focused on Chinese consumers, as the Chinese
e-commerce market represents the world's largest one. Future studies
might investigate other markets. Practical implications As brands, rather
than a COO effect, impacted consumer preferences, companies selling their
products to Chinese consumers online need to establish a reputation for
quality early on. Chinese companies should emphasize their COO to make
use of the ethnocentrism detected. Companies profit from the Best-Worst
Scaling investigation revealing which product categories Chinese
consumers most preferably buy online from German companies.
Originality/value To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the
first to capture the importance of COO in the contemporary context of
ubiquitous online shopping. Moreover, a more realistic and less biased way
of measuring the importance of COO is enabled by building upon three
pre-connected studies. The findings allow to develop a generalization for
both high- and low-involvement products.

标题: Pride and Prejudice and Country-of-Origin Ecological Images: The
Influence of COO Ecological Image on Consumer Evaluation of Product

摘要: The increasing consumer demand for shopping eco-friendly products
online leads brands and marketers to offer more products that are claimed
to be eco-friendly on online stores. However, it is very difficult for
consumers to evaluate the credibility of such claims, and marketers usually
do not offer resources to help consumers make the evaluation. Hence,
consumers must utilize limited information cues (e.g. country-of-origin,
price, etc.) that are available to them to evaluate the credibility of green
claims and the greenness of products. Two online experiments were
conducted to examine how product COO, product price, and product types
affect consumer perception of product greenness and green claim
credibility. The findings suggest that product COO is a powerful factor that
influences consumer perception. Theoretical and practical implications of
the findings were discussed.

标题: Consumer's Perceived Risk and Product Evaluations on Country Image
of Surrogate Buying Origin in Surrogate Internet Shopping Mall

摘要: Internet has grown fast and become one of the most important retail
channels now. Various types of Internet retailers, hereafter etailers, have
been introduced so far and as one type of Internet shopping mall,
'surrogate Internet shopping mall' has been prosperous and attracting
consumers in the domestic market. Surrogate Internet shopping mall is a
unique type of etailer that globally purchases well-known brand goods that
are not imported in the market, completes delivery in the favor of individual
buyers, and collects fees for these specific services. The consumers, who are
usually interested in purchasing high-end and unique but not eligible
brands, have difficulties to purchase these items overseas directly from the
retailers or brands in other countries due to worries of payment failure and
no address available for their usually domestic only delivery. In Korea, both
numbers of surrogate Internet shopping malls and the magnitude of sales
have been growing rapidly up to more than 430 active malls and 500 billion
Korean won in 2008 since the population of consumers who want this agent
shopping service is also expending.This etail business concept is originated
from ‘surrogate-mediated purchase’ and this type of shopping agent has
existed in many different forms and also in wide ranges of context level for
quite a long time. As marketers face their individual buyers’
representatives instead of a direct contact with them in many occasions, the
impact of surrogate shoppers on consumer’s decision making has been
enormously important and many scholars have explored various range of
agent’s impact on consumer’s purchase decisions in marketing and
psychology field. However, not much rigorous research in the Internet
commerce has been conveyed yet.Moreover, since as one of the shopping
agent surrogate Internet shopping malls specifically connect overseas
brands or retailers to domestic consumers, one specific character of the
mall’s, image of surrogate buying country, where surrogate purchases are
conducted in, may play an important role to form consumers' attitude and
purchase intention toward products. Furthermore it also possibly affects
various dimensions of perceived risk in consumer's information processing.
However, though tremendous researches have been carried exploring the
effects of diverse dimensions of country of origin, related studies in Internet
context has been rarely executed. There have been some studies that prove
the positive impact of country of origin on consumer’s evaluations as one
of information clues in product manufacture descriptions, yet studies
detecting the relationship between country image of surrogate buying
origin and product evaluations rarely undertaken regarding this specific
mall type.Thus, the authors have found it well-worth investigating in this
specific retail channel and explored systematic relationships among focal
constructs and elaborated their different paths. The authors have proven
that country image of surrogate buying origin in the mall, where surrogate
malls purchase products in and brings them from for buyers, not only has a
positive effect on consumers' product evaluations including attitude and
purchase intention but also has a negative effect on all three dimensions of
perceived risk: product-related risk, shipping-related risk, and
post-purchase risk. Specifically among all the perceived risk,
product-related risk which is arisen from high uncertainty of product
performance is most affected (β= -.30) by negative country image of
surrogate buying origin, and also shipping-related risk (β= -.18) and
post-purchase risk (β= -.15) get influenced in order. Its direct effects on
product attitude (β= .10) and purchase intention (β= .14) are also secured.
Each of perceived risk dimension is proven to have a negative effect on
purchase intention through product attitude as a mediator (β= -.57:
product-related risk product attitude; β= -.24: shipping-related risk
product attitude; β= -.44: post-purchase risk product attitude) as well.From
the additional analysis, the paths of consumers’information processing are
shown to be different based on their levels of product knowledge. While
novice consumers with low level of knowledge consider only perceived risk
important, expert consumers with high level of knowledge take both the
country image, where surrogate services are conducted in, and perceived
risk seriously to build their attitudes and formulate decisions toward
products more delicately and systematically, which is in line with previous
studies.This study suggests several pieces of academic and practical advice.
Precisely, country image of surrogate buying origin does affect on
consumer’s risk perceptions and behavioral consequences. Therefore a
careful selection of surrogate buying origin is recommended. Furthermore,
reducing consumers' risk level is required to blossom this new type of retail
business whether its consumer are novices or experts. Additionally, since
consumer take different paths of elaborating information based on their
knowledge levels, sophisticated marketing approaches to each group of
consumers are required. For novice buyers strong devices for risk mitigation
are needed to induce them to form better attitudes and for experts
selections of better and advanced countries as surrogate buying origins are
advised while endorsement strategy for the site might work as a reliable
information clue to all consumers to mitigate the barriers to purchase
goods online.The authors have also explained that the study suffers from
some limitations, including generalizability. In future studies, tests of and
comparisons among different types of etailers with relevant constructs are
recommended to broaden the findings.

摘要: Purpose - This research is designed to explore Chinese customers'
wine purchasing behaviours and to investigate the effect of
country-of-origin (COO) information on their wine evaluations.
Design/methodology/approach - Data were collected from the shopping
malls both in Shanghai and Hangzhou, China, using the systematic
sampling method. A total 148 usable questionnaires were returned and
analysed by SPSS. Findings - The results confirmed that Chinese customers
consider COO as the most important factor in their wine evaluation when a
single-cue approach is applied. When a multi-cue approach is used
however the results showed that there was no significant difference in the
importance in COO and price as indicators. This research also revealed
some salient characteristics of Chinese consumers buying behaviour
associated with Chinese culture. When the Chinese are evaluating wine for
gift giving and consuming wine in public, they tend to attach more
importance to COO than to other variables and are more likely to purchase
foreign or imported wine instead of domestic brands. Research
limitations/implications - Only respondents from Shanghai and Hangzhou
were chosen, limiting the representativeness of the sample. Future research
will be benefited from increased sample size from different geographical
regions and by examining the relationship between the consumer
demographic characteristics and the COO effects. Originality/value - The
results from this study stand in contrast to previous studies relating to the
role of COO in product evaluation. It illustrates the importance of culture in
relation to COO.

标题: Made in China but sold at FAO Schwarz: country-of-origin effect and
trusting beliefs
来源出版物: INTERNATIONAL MARKETING REVIEW
卷: 28
期: 1

DOI: 10.1108/02651331111107125

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the moderating
effect of trusting beliefs about a store on country-of-origin (COO) effects.
The paper suggests that three trusting beliefs (ability beliefs, benevolence
beliefs and integrity beliefs) about a retail store moderate negative effects
of COO on product evaluation and purchase intention. However, under high
manufacturer risk conditions, only benevolence beliefs moderate the
negative COO effects.
Design/methodology/approach - The toy industry is chosen as the study
context. The first three hypotheses are tested with survey data collected
from 224 participants. The last hypothesis is tested with data collected from
338 participants. Hierarchical moderated regression was used in the testing
of the hypotheses.
Findings - The results show that while only benevolence and integrity
beliefs about a store weaken the negative effect of COO on product
evaluations, all three trusting beliefs lessen the negative impact of COO on
consumers' purchase intentions. However, when manufacturer risk is high,
only benevolence beliefs have a significant moderating effect.
Practical implications - The findings show that manufacturers can reverse
the negative cycle, or at least minimize their losses, if they choose those
retailers that consumers have high trusting beliefs about as their channel
members. Similarly, if they can signal that they are benevolent and honest
stores, retailers can balance their customers' negative evaluations of
products made in certain countries with negative image.
Research limitations/implications - Given the recent product recalls and
concerns, the toy industry presents an ideal case to study the effect of
trusting beliefs on COO effects. Nonetheless, the focus on a single industry
does limit the generalizability of the findings. The authors recommend that
future researchers examine these relationships in studies focusing on other
product categories.
Originality/value - To the best of authors' knowledge, this is the first study
that investigates the impact of individuals' trusting beliefs about a store on
COO effects.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to clarify the three-way
interaction among product-country image, product-origin congruency and
product involvement on consumers' product-related evaluations and
purchase intentions. Design/methodology/approach - Data were gathered
from 388 consumers in Australia across four different product classes. Data
analysis was conducted using hierarchical regression analysis with
three-way interactions and a novel post hoc slope analysis is introduced to
the marketing area. Findings - Overall, the study findings suggest that the
importance that consumers place on country-of-origin (COO) image when
they evaluate products is contingent on the product context. Specifically,
the study findings show that product-country image, product-origin
congruency and product involvement interact on product evaluations and
intentions such that product-origin congruency plays a differentiating role
for consumers in a low involvement situation, but a neutral role for
consumers in a high involvement situation. Therefore, when a company
deals with less-involved customers, the COO image and the congruency of
the product origins are particularly important issues. Conversely, when a
company deals with more product-involved customers, product-origin
congruency has no differential influence on their product evaluations and
behavioural intentions to purchase. Originality/value - An important
extension to past research in the area is to provide analyses of the joint
effects which may be different from their roles when investigated
separately. The present paper represents the first empirical investigation of
the three-way interaction of product-origin image, product-origin
congruency and product involvement on consumers' product-related
evaluations and behavioural intentions. Furthermore, the paper presents
the first application in marketing research of a novel method for analysing
three-way interaction slopes.

摘要: Purpose - This study aims to examine the country-of-origin's impact
on consumer purchase behavior post-acquisition, especially when the
acquirer-dominant business is afflicted by a low country-of-origin image
and the acquired business enjoys a high country-of-origin image. This study
also aims to examine brand redeployment strategy impacts on consumer
purchase intentions. Design/methodology/approach - Data are collected
from an online questionnaire in Taiwan. A total of 325 usable questionnaires
are returned. Data analysis is conducted using regress analysis and ANOVA.
Findings - These results indicate that general country attributes and general
product attributes have a positive effect on purchase intentions. In addition,
general product attributes play a mediating role between general country
attributes and purchase intentions. These results further show that
target-dominant redeployment strategy is the most powerful to purchase
intentions. A company which wants to use M&A to increase market share
must seriously consider general country attributes, general product
attributes and brand redeployment strategy because these three constructs
affect purchase intentions, and consequently maintain consumer loyalty
and attract new customers. Originality/value - There were seldom studies
which investigated country-of-image effect and M&A from marketing
perspective. The major contributions of the study were investigating
consumers' perception of the effects on country-of-origin image and the
redeployment strategy on an acquired brand.

标题: Does country-of-origin brand personality generate retail customer
lifetime value? A Big Data analytics approach

摘要: Many retail firms have witnessed the erosion of customer loyalty with
the rise of e-commerce and its resulting benefits to consumers, including
increased choices, lower prices, and ease of brand switching. Retailers have
long collected data to learn about customer purchasing habits; however,
many currently do not use data-mining analytics to increase marketing
effectiveness by predicting future buying patterns and potential customer
lifetime value, particularly to important segments such as loyal and
potential repeat customers. Data mining can efficiently analyze large
amounts of business data ("Big Data") in an effort to forecast consumer
needs and increase the lifetime value of customers (CLV). Previous studies
on these topics primarily focus on conceptual assumptions and generally
do not present empirically valid models.& para;& para;The present study
sought to fill the research gap by using Big Data analytics to analyze
approximately 44,000 point-of-sale transaction records for 26,000
customers of a Taiwanese retail store to understand how consumer
personality traits relate to the country-of-origin (COO) traits (brand
personality) of beer brands, and to predict potential customer lifetime value
(CLV). The findings revealed that consumers tend to purchase and
co-purchase brands with traits similar to their own personality traits (i.e.,
Japan-peacefulness, Belgium-openness, Ireland-excitement, etc.).
Significantly, customers with the group of personality traits associated with
"peacefulness" and "openness" were the most profitable customers among
the five analyzed clusters (CLV value = 0.3149, 0.2635). The study provides
valuable new insights into COO brand personality and consumer
personality traits with co-purchase behaviors via data mining techniques,
and highlights the value of extending CLV in developing useful marketing
strategies.

摘要: This paper examines key determinants and the effect of
country-of-origin on customer's purchase intention of functional food and
dietary supplement product in Vietnam. Exploratory study was identified to
evaluate personal and social factors on customer's buying behavior.
Twenty-eight reflective constructs were adapted from literature and
designed by using a seven-point Likert scale to facilitate measurement. By
using non-probability convenience sampling, data was collected from a
survey of 242 Vietnamese who have experienced in buying functional and
supplement food. This paper employed partial least square structural
equation modeling (PLS-SEM) as a technique employed to analyze the
measurement and structural models. The findings provide evidence that
social prestige customer perceives and their positive attitude toward
functional food which are main factors influencing on consumers' purchase
intention. Customer's perceived prestige plays an important role in
decision-making process to purchase. The higher social prestige taken up in
consumers' mind, the higher consumers' purchase intention is. Moreover,
the more positive attitude customer holds toward functional food, the
higher consumers' purchase intention. The research results provide useful
information in current understanding of what antecedents determine
factors influencing customer's intention to purchase functional food and
lead to managerial implications for business strategies.

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the consistency over
time of customer attitude towards country-of-origin in a transitional
economy.
Design/methodology/approach A single cross-sectional study in
Uzbekistan was carried out, with n=527, consisting of 374 street and 153
online surveys, replicating a study carried out 20 years earlier.
Findings Whilst consumers still perceive products from advanced countries
to have higher quality, quality perception in relation to country-of-origin
information is dynamic and transitional countries can improve the
perception of consumers towards their national brands.
Research limitations/implications This study was carried out in Tashkent,
the capital of Uzbekistan, the most populous of the Central Asian republics.
Researchers may wish to extend it by examining COO effects in other
transitional economies, and additionally to examine the effect of
country-of-brand origin.
Practical implications Customer perceptions and attitudes take a long-time
to evolve. This cross-sectional study showed that the COO perception of
China has improved significantly and the perception towards the products
produced locally in Uzbekistan has also slightly improved across all
categories. Strong brands can contribute to the image of the country.
Transition countries need to take appropriate marketing actions to cultivate
positive perception through innovation and branding.
Originality/value Prior research has been extended by adding new product
categories such as mobile phones, computers, washing machines and air
conditioners. This research shows that government officials and exporters in
developing countries should prioritise strengthening their country's image
to help domestic marketers export and attract foreign investors. The
authors provide insights for marketers to understand the impact of product
country-of-origin on customer purchase intention and its antecedents in
transitional economies, such as Uzbekistan.

摘要: In business-to-business markets, customers can use a supplier's
perceived country of origin as a cue in assessing that supplier; this inference
making results in stereotypical supplier evaluation criteria which are the
basis for country-of-origin evaluations. To date, these criteria have not been
established properly by an empirical study. Using a qualitative approach,
the current study uncovers a fuller picture of the stereotypical criteria
behind this inference. Using the repertory grid method, the authors
interview 30 purchasing agents from car manufacturers in three European
countries. Through this empirical study, they outline a system of nine
categories that are conceptually examined and result in the conclusion that
stereotypical supplier evaluation criteria reflect a customer-perceived
interpretation of suppliers' organizational competences.

标题: Determinants of brand equity for credence goods: Consumers'
preference for country origin, perceived value and food safety

摘要: Food safety is an important credence attribute that is increasingly
being emphasized by the food industry, regulatory bodies and the
consumers around the world. Consumers cannot predict ex ante
performance of the product based on the credence attributes due to
information asymmetry, and they need a signal that they can trust in
purchasing a food product with high credence attributes. Consumers are
likely to use a brand name as a surrogate of the quality and the safety
guarantee in purchasing food products with credence attributes. An
effective brand management appears to be a major prerequisite for the
creation of superior customer value (i.e. brand equity) and successful
positioning of credence goods. This study empirically validates four
determinant conceptualization of brand equity for credence goods by
utilizing the Latent Variable Structural Equation Modeling (LVSE). Findings
support the four factor model of brand equity for credence goods. The
main objective of this study is to illustrate how consumers place value on
major product cues in making purchasing decision of credence products.
The findings show that brand loyalty and attribute based components (i.e.
perceived value) appears to have the dominant role in determining a
brand's equity.

摘要: Purpose This study aims to examine the effect of country of origin
(COO) on customers' value expectation and willingness to pay by
employing signalling theory and cue utilisation.
Design/methodology/approach The data were collected from 386
customers via an online survey in the context of Australian food retail
franchise stores in China. Findings The findings indicate that COO origin is
an important determinant of customer expectations including service
quality, social value, emotional value, monetary price, behavioural price and
reputation. Furthermore, the only social value was a significant predictor of
willingness to pay. Although the direct effect of COO on willingness to
purchase was not significant, the COO had a significant indirect effect on
willingness to pay via social value. Finally, the COO has a stronger effect on
monetary price expectation among customers who were aware of the
country brands than those who were unaware. Originality/value The study
extends the body of knowledge related to the effect of COO during the
pre-purchase process and provides important implications for retailers who
are looking to enter an overseas market such as China.

摘要: Knowing the tastes and needs of consumers is a key aspect in the
literature review on consumer behaviour. This becomes even more
important when it comes to selling across borders, in international markets.
In other words, facing a different environment, both the tastes and the
needs of consumers are different compared to those that can be found in a
local market. Therefore, knowing how consumers behave takes on special
relevance in business internationalization. In order to determine this
behaviour, companies develop commercial research, which involves a large
investment of resources (especially when it comes to obtaining primary
information). Large companies usually have the resources to be able to
carry out this type of market research, but what about small and
medium-sized enterprises (SME's)? They generally do not have enough
resources to undertake a full commercial research experiment to investigate
the tastes and needs of customers in foreign market countries. The data
from this paper allow participating SME's to have a first understanding of
the tastes and needs of consumers in these countries-markets that are
being internationalized (in this case, through exports). The data provide the
precise information sought about consumers in those countries-markets
that are the target of internationalization. To this end, tourists visiting a
certain place have been analysed. Based on the information needs of these
companies (and on questionnaires found in the scientific literature), the
questionnaire for this experiment was drawn up and completed by tourists
who visited that particular place. The information collected by the
questionnaire was mainly focused on how consumers responded to some
of the main marketing variables: product, price and distribution, as well as,
gastronomic culture, "made in" effect and purchase intention. This valuable
information allowed the companies that participated in the experiment to
adapt their products to the tastes and needs of each international market
country targeted, and even led some of these companies to consider
market countries that were not previously considered for the exportation of
their products. (C) 2020 Published by Elsevier Inc.

摘要: This study sets to find out the mediating effect of country of origin
between the four constructs namely reputation, trust, ethnocentrism,
quality and consumers' purchase intention. Four of the five predictors play a
significant role at varying degrees at varying degree on consumer purchase
intention. To examine this further, data was collected from 150 respondents
through purposive sampling method using a questionnaire. The proposed
model was tested with the help of PLS structural equation modelling and
other relevant statistical tools. The study emphasised the fact that all
predictor variables except ethnocentrism have a significant impact on
consumer purchase intention. In the presence of mediation, reputation and
ethnocentrism had no impact on purchase intention. This study will
contribute significantly to the existing research and further help to
understand the consumer perceptions to improve the marketing strategies.
The proposed model will enhance the strategy formulation process of
various organisations by designing sustainable models of customer
acquisition and retention strategies. The limitation of the study was its
limited focus on the above variables, and its narrow focus on the younger
age group.

摘要: Despite the global recession, international prestige brands continue to
build on their success in the Chinese market. In order to sustain long-term
achievement in this market, it is critical to have a profound understanding
of local customers' attitudes towards branded foreign products.
Consciously or subconsciously, consumers tend to use country-of-origin
(COO) products as one of the selection criteria they keep in mind when
purchasing. Our present research intends to disocver how and to what
extent the COO effect influences Chinese consumer perception, preference
and selection of branded foreign products. In order to have a better
understanding of consumers' innermost opinions ofCOOeffects, qualitative
research was deemed the order of the day. Semi-directive interviews were
carried out in the mainland of China. In order to make the research results
more representative, the interviewees selected were of different sex, age,
educational background, income and occupation. Research results on COO
effects on Chinese consumers may help companies better understand how
to communicate with and serve Chinese consumers in a more effective way.

摘要: The marketing environment has become competitive to an extent that
requires firms to target their products at markets that span national
boundaries. However, competitive clout cannot be achieved in global
consumer markets unless firms thoroughly understand and adequately
respond to the core values and needs of those consumers. Brand equity is
one of the most important assets to a company. Especially in sportswear
markets, brand equity is the crucial value added to a product by its brand
name. Factors such as country of origin also influence customer’s attitude
towards brand equity. Therefore, this paper discusses the relationship
between country of origin effect and brand equity, and how they influence
consumers’ loyalty for respective brands. This paper focused on the sports
shoes market, because it is an increasing area of opportunity for world
manufacturers.The objectives of this study were the following.(1) Test the
effect of country of origin on brand equity.(2) Test how brand equity
influences consumers’ brand loyalty.(3) Find whether there are differences
in the effects of country of origin and brand equity among the three
countries.(4) Find whether there are differences in the effects of country of
origin and brand equity among the different lifestyles.Based on the review
of literature results, the hypotheses are concluded as the following: H1-a:
Country image has positive influence on country of origin.H1-b: Product
perception has positive influence on country of origin.H2-a: Perceived
quality has positive effect on brand equity.H2-b: Perceived price has
positive effect on brand equity.H3: Country of origin has positive effect on
brand equity.H4: Brand equity has a positive impact on brand
loyalty.Research model was constructed (see Fig. 1).After data analysis, the
following results were concluded: sports shoes purchase behavior showed
significant differences among Korean, Chinese, and American consumers
for favorite brand, purchased brand, purchased place, information usage,
and favorite sports games. The results of this study also extend the research
of the relationship among country of origin, brand equity and brand loyalty
to the sports shoes market. Brand equity was proven to have a significant
relationship with brand loyalty for all countries. The factors which can
influence brand equity are different for different countries. The third finding
of this paper is that we identified different three lifestyles, adventurer,
follower, and laggard, for Korean, Chinese and American consumers.
Without the nationality boundary, seeing the emergence of a new group of
consumers who have similar preferences and buy similar brands is more
important. All of the consumers consider brand equity to keep their brand
loyalty. Perceived price is the only factor which can influence brand equity
for adventurers; brand is more important for them. The laggards were not
influenced by any factor. All of the factors expect perceived price are
important for the followers. Marketing managers should consider brand
equity when introducing their brand into a new market. Also localization is
the basic strategy that all the sports shoes companies should understand.
But as a global brand, understanding the same characteristics for each
country is more important to build global strategy.

摘要: Whether or not consumers consider information about origin in their
routine food purchase decisions is a contentious issue. Usage of social
networks has redefined lifestyle and culture, and firms are finding it difficult
to understand their customers. This study aims to investigate the effect of
social networks (digital marketing) on Pakistani consumers' understanding
of the CoO (country-of-origin) label for F&V (fruit and vegetable) products
and its relative importance in daily purchase decisions of fruit and vegetable
products. In a random survey of 797 consumers in two Pakistani cities, we
found that the relationship between the CoO information and the daily F&V
product choices of Pakistani consumers was less important than other
factors. Consumers are mistaken about the CoO label, with only one-third
of respondents correctly understanding the difference between labels of
"made in..." and "product of...." Therefore, mandatory CoO label policies
may increase costs and reinforce consumers' misinterpretation of the
meaning of these labels; obtaining a "user-friendly" CoO label serves only
those consumers who properly understand the information. This study
contributes to understanding of the extent to which consumers are
competent in their knowledge and understanding of these informational
labels.

摘要: Customer's product identification with respect to country-of-design
(COD), country-of-manufacturer (COM), and country-of-assembly (COA)
has become a driver or a communication tool regarding customers'
purchase intention and use of a product. This article, (1) reviews the
literature in relation to the effect of country-of-origin (COO) on buyer's
evaluation of domestic products or brands, and (2) Proposed a conceptual
model depicting the trajectory through which COO impact on consumer
purchase intention towards a domestic product/brand. The current study
implores a qualitative inquiry with a specific focus on document analysis as
well as experts' opinions. From the literature, it has emerged that
country-of-origin effect (notably, COD, COM, and COA) plays a significant
role in determining consumer's buying decisions towards both domestic
and foreign products. Additionally, it was discovered that
country-of-manufacture determines a product/ brand evaluation (in terms
of quality) relatively to COD and COA. Practically, the study is important for
countries (especially resource-poor and developing countries) that need to
increase manufactured exports and for firms that sourced/import products
in countries different from where they are sold. Theoretically, it widens the
concept of brand management with the interplay of COO effect on
consumer purchase intention. Marketing inferences are drawn, and
direction for future research is developed in the entire manuscript.

摘要: This study aims to investigate drivers of purchase intention for
imported powder milk by using the PLS-SEM approach to analyse a data
survey of 449 customers in Vietnam. The findings indicate that
ethnocentrism has no significant impact on perceived product quality.
Meanwhile, the country of origin has a significant positive effect on
perceived product quality, brand attitude, and purchase intention. However,
as separating the country of origin in the first-order construct, information
of the country's technology is preferred than that of the country of
manufacture. Specifically, foreign product knowledge plays a crucial role in
purchase intention. Customers will devote more time to seeking
information of imported products before buying. Notably, the subjective
norm is an essential predictor of purchase intention and product attitude, in
which other people around customers can affect their determination and
attitude. The research also conducted a qualitative approach to insight
results to make recommendations for managerial implications.

摘要: Luxury brands have generally been consumed by the well-to-do group
among society. Nonetheless, from the mid 21st century, luxury item
markets have been extended to customer groups with middle-class and
lower-class earnings. In this perspective, this research attempts to identify
Korean consumers behaviors in the context of luxury vehicle market, by
confirming effects of country-of-origin images on consumers’ purchase
intention, mediating brand prestige, brand credibility, and perceived
quality. Furthermore, the dimensions of country-of-origin image in this
study has been divided into three dimensions of functional
country-of-origin, social country-of-origin, and dynamic country-of-origin.
For the purpose of empirical study, a survey has been conducted to Korean
consumers focusing on the effects of country-of-origin image on purchase
intention by selecting the brand of Mercedes-Benz manufactured by
Germany. A total of 324 questionnaires have been used for final analysis. By
utilizing SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 18.0, the results of structural equation model
have confirmed the positive effects of functional country-of-origin effects
on brand prestige and brand credibility, while the other components of
country-of-origin image have not shown significant effects on brand
prestige and brand credibility. In addition, the effect of brand prestige on
brand credibility has been significantly associated, and the relationship of
brand prestige and brand credibility with perceived quality have also been
turned out to be positively linked. Lastly, the effects of brand prestige,
brand credibility, and perceived quality on purchase intention have been
shown to be positively associated.

摘要: This paper examines key determinants and the effect of country
of-origin on customer's purchase intention of functional food and dietary
supplement product in Vietnam. Data was collected from a survey of 242
Vietnamese who have experienced in buying functional and supplement
food. This paper employed partial least square (PLS) as a technique used to
analyze the measurement and structural models. The findings provide
evidence that social prestige customer perceives and their positive attitude
toward functional food which are main factors influencing on consumers'
purchase intention. Customer's perceived prestige plays an important role
in decision-making process to purchase. The higher social prestige taken up
in consumers' mind, the higher consumers' purchase intention is. Moreover,
the more positive attitude customer holds toward functional food, the
higher consumers' purchase intention. The research results provide useful
information in current understanding of what antecedents determine
factors influencing customer's intention to purchase functional food and
lead to managerial implications for business strategies.

摘要: Under globalizing trend, consumers have a lot of chances to purchase
foreign goods. Consumers are easily to search product information via
internet and make purchase decisions according to the information
collected. Some consumers would evaluate product quality according to
the country of origin. Past researches showed customers would take
country of origin of products as important criteria to make purchase
decisions. Generally speaking, consumers of developed countries would
have higher perceived risk on products of developing countries. Consumers
of developing countries would have less confidence on their own products.
Therefore, how to reduce the negative influences from inferior country of
origin is an important research issue. In this paper, we take digital still
camera (DSC) as our research object. We conducted experimental design by
manipulating country of origin (high vs. low) and endorser expertise (high
vs. low). Besides, we came out our hypothesis by source credibility and
elaboration likelihood model (ELM). We found that country-of-origin image
and endorser expertise had positive effects on product attitude and
purchase intention. Besides, respondents with lower product involvement
are more easily influenced by country of origin and endorser expertise.

标题: Korean consumers’ attitudes towards organic labels and
country-of-origin of organic foods

摘要: Although the South Korean organic food market is in the infancy
compared to other industrialized countries, Korean consumers’'interestin
organic food and retail stores devoting space to organic products have
been rapidly increasing. Despite the fact of organic food popularity, the
term "organic" is interpreted differently by individuals. As opposed to the
US, Japan and the EU where have operated an integrated organic food
labelling system, Korea has adopted complex organic labelling systems
regulated by several different government bodies. As a result, complicated
food labelling standards make consumers confused when purchasing
organic foods. Furthermore, in terms of country of origin (COO), it is argued
by a lot of researchers that COO effects vary from product to product and
from country to country; moreover, other informational cues such as brand
and price can influence COO effects.In modern society, COO labelling has
been complicated, due to the sourcing, manufacturing and market locations
of merchandise spread over the world. Accordingly, the evaluation of COO
effects has become complex. 1)In order to examine these issues, a
quantitative research was selected to classify the commonfeatures of
organic food consumers and construct statistics such as the extent to which
people are aware of organic food and COO labellingvia a questionnaire
which took place in two cities in Korea with a cluster sample of 161 organic
food purchasers. As for the data analysis, one-way analysis of variance
(ANOVA), T-tests, bivariate crosstatulations with Cramer’'s V were
conducted, depending on the characteristics of variables and the
assumptions the research data need to fit.It has been concluded that in
general, Korean organic consumers comprehend the term "organic"in a
closer way to the general concept rather than technical term, thus people
do not appreciate environmentally labels which include organic food labels,
although marital status influence the degree of label awareness, regardless
of gender, age, education level and so on. Regarding COO effects on
organic food, home organic products were Korean consumers’'first choice
over those from industrialized countries and developing nations.
Specifically, in processed organic product category, domestically culti-vated
and processed organic products were absolutely preferred to leading
national brands produced with imported ingredients and international
brands. However, due to a lack of checks of ingredients’'COO, consumers
tend to purchase a leading national organic food brand, believing that it is a
pure organic food sourced domestically.As a consequence, this research has
suggested some important managerial implications and future research
directions. In order to prevent consumer confusion when buying organic
foods, it should be noted that consumers do not comprehend the organic
food certifications, due to complicated labelling systems for organic
produce and processed organic foods. Therefore, government bodies
related to organic food distribution have to know consumers’' perception
of organic food labels and the significance of customer-oriented labels and
reestablish labelling standards. Similarly, public advertising should be
followed to raise public awareness of the labelling to enable customers to
have the correct information. In addition, not only international marketers
but also domestic marketers need to understand COO images and also the
influence COO of ingredients has on the image of an organic product.

摘要: Business environment has been rapidly changing due to globalization.
Recently, FTA negotiation among various countries newly draw the
importance of country of origin. Country of origin concept was introduced
as an extension of country image. Previous studies found that country of
origin work as a salient cue in buyer’s perceived quality. It also has been
found for country of origin effect to have an important role in consumer
purchasing decisions. Not only country of origin by brand but also country
of origin by manufacturing appear to affect product evaluation. And
country of origin may serve as a proxy variable when quantity of
information is not fluent.Based on the previous studies, the purpose of this
study is to analyze the effect of country of origin on product evaluation
both by brand and by manufacturing. Additionally the moderating role of
product knowledge and product category will be analyzed.In this study, the
authors divided the country of origin concept into two category based on
the literature review. That is country image of brand and country image of
manufacturing. It should be noticed that two country image
(favorable/unfavorable), product categories (high/low involvement),
consumer knowledge (high/low) affect product evaluation.As expected,
country of origin effect appeared differently by combination of country of
origin. Conclusively, customers evaluated the product best when both
country of origin by brand and country of origin by manufacturing image
are favorable. And favorable country of origin by brand and unfavorable
country of origin by manufacturing, unfavorable country of origin by brand
and favorable country of origin by manufacturing and unfavorable country
of origin by brand and unfavorable country of origin by manufacturing are
in order in product evaluation. But the hypothesis on moderating role of
product knowledge and product category (product involvement) are not
supported

标题: Understanding Purchase Intention Towards Imported Products: Role
of Ethnocentrism, Country of Origin, and Social Influence

摘要: The previous research was mainly focused on consumers' purchase
intention toward imported products in developed countries, whereas there
is insufficient research conducted in developing countries like Mongolia.
Therefore, the current study analyzed consumers' purchase intention
toward imported products. We specifically examine the effects of the
country of origin (COO), Ethnocentrism, and social influence on imported
products' purchase intention through the product image and quality
mediation role. To achieve the purpose of the research, an online survey
was conducted on four hundred twenty-six Mongolian female consumers
who experienced purchasing imported handbags. We used SPSS 23 and
PLS-SEM software to test hypotheses. Moreover, we explored that an
individual's perception of social influence was essential in purchasing
imported products. Individuals with a higher degree of social influence
prefer to buy imported products, e.g., and handbags, without a prior
evaluation. Implications of the findings for theory and managerial practice
are discussed, and future research directions are identified.

摘要: Purpose Country of origin is a well-studied topic for developed
countries that have a favourable image. However, how country of origin
image affects the consumers of an emerging country on a frontier market
with high uncertainty avoidance still needs to be shed light. Therefore, this
study investigated the relationship of country of origin image with
consumer purchase intention through consumer uncertainty. The study
further explored the conditional effect of brand image between country of
origin and consumer uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach The data
for this study was collected from 400 Pakistani consumers. As this study
assessed purchase intentions and consumer uncertainty related to high
technology products of China, therefore, the consumers of the Huawei
brand were selected. Findings The findings revealed a negative influence of
country of origin image on consumer purchase intentions both directly and
indirectly through consumer uncertainty. Furthermore, the positive brand
image of high tech products was found to moderate the effect of country of
origin image on consumer uncertainty. Originality/value This study is the
first of its kind that explores the intervening role of consumer uncertainty
between country of origin image and consumer purchase intention in an
emerging market. In addition, the study highlights the importance of strong
brand image as it buffers consumer uncertainty because of stereotypes.

标题: Effects of country of origin and importers' innovativeness in new
product trials
来源出版物: JOURNAL OF BUSINESS & INDUSTRIAL MARKETING
DOI: 10.1108/JBIM-04-2020-0200
提前访问日期: JAN 2022
摘要: Purpose The purpose of this study is to seek to investigate whether
and how country of origin (COO) cues - category-country image (CCI) and
typicality - and importers' domain-specific innovativeness (DSI) influence
importers' propensity to the trial new value and premium products.
Moreover, it aims to understand whether and how the relationship between
the COO effect and industrial purchase intentions is moderated by
importers' propensity to innovate (DSI). Design/methodology/approach
International importers completed a quantitative online survey. Factor
analysis was used to summarize the latent constructs into orthogonal
scores. General linear modeling was applied to the scores to test the
hypotheses. Findings The results indicate that importers' propensity to trial
value products is directly influenced by CCI and importers' DSI. For
premium products, typicality has a positive effect on their propensity to
trial. Also, CCI and DSI have positive effects on the trial of value products,
and the effect is more pronounced than for premium products. Importers'
DSI positively moderates CCI in premium product trials, while it negatively
moderates typicality in value products. Practical implications This research
provides important managerial implications for practitioners seeking to
increase foreign sales, strengthening importers' product perceived value
through COO cues. Exporters should distinguish between value and
premium products and, in the selection of international channel partners,
they must be attentive to importers' personal characteristics, such as their
propensity to innovate. Exporters selling value products should
communicate CCI more clearly and, when targeting innovative importers,
opt for atypical products instead of traditional ones. For premium products,
which require more complex decisions, exporters should especially
underscore product typicality and, with innovative importers, emphasize
positive CCI. Originality/value By focusing on the two critical issues of
product selection and price levels, this study's original contribution is to
emphasize that, for the same product category, in industrial purchasing
decisions of value versus premium products, the COO effect can be
different. It also highlights the importance of investigating the COO effect
by concentrating on industrial buyers' personal characteristics, here the DSI
of importers, as moderating variables.

摘要: Product country-of-origin (COO) is now playing a central role in
consumers' purchase behavior. Previous studies have investigated several
factors that impact COO. However, little attention has been paid to the
impact of COO on consumers' product evaluation on Chinese products,
especially in the cross-border e-commerce context. Using a multi-methods
design, this study first unearthed the antecedents of COO image towards
Chinese products from the qualitative data in Study 1 by drawing on the
legitimacy theory and then developed a contextual model of consumers'
product evaluation and purchase intention, integrating the role of a product
with a different level of involvement. Using quantitative survey data from
252 foreign consumers, the study tests the research model in Study 2. The
findings provide empirical evidence to support the model and highlight the
importance of COO cues on foreign consumers' purchase intention towards
Chinese products. The results also enhance our understanding of
consumers' purchase decision in cross-border e-commerce.

摘要: The purpose of this paper is to explore how the country-of-origin
image mediates the effect of national stereotypes along two dimensions of
perceived competence and warmth, on consumers' consumption behaviors,
especially in today's environment, the capricious COVID-19 and the
deepening and expanding "The Belt and Road" initiative. Research design,
data, and methodology: After collecting 1500 primary data from twelve
countries along the 21st - Century Maritime Silk Road, this paper conducts
ANOVA and SEM in SPSS25.0 and AMOS 24.0 separately to analyze
measurements, structural models, and hypotheses via using 1277 final
samples. The mediation results illustrate the asymmetric dominance of the
two dimensions of national stereotypes, indicating that the
country-of-origin image shows the complementary mediation in the effect
of perceived competence on purchase intention; whereas, the
country-of-origin image holds the indirect-only mediation in the impact of
perceived warmth on purchase intention. The results of the moderation
show that the effect of country-of-origin image on purchase intention is
more significant for consumers who perceive COVID-19 in China to be of
lesser severity than those who believe it to be of higher severity. Eased on
the paper's results, some implications for practice and theory are
highlighted.

标题: Partitioned Country-of-Origin Effect on Consumer Behavior: A
Meta-Analysis

摘要: Despite considerable research, empirical results on the relationship
between partitioned country-of-origin (COO) and consumer behavior
remain inconclusive and conflicting. This study aims to examine the (a)
overall and disaggregate effects of selected COO sub-components
(country-of-brand, country-of-design, country-of-manufacture/assembly,
and country-of-parts) on product evaluation, brand evaluation, and
purchase intentions; and (b) effect of selected study methodological and
contextual characteristics on the focal relationship. The study employs a
meta-analysis to synthesize prior literature regarding the partitioned
COO-consumer behavior relationship of 82 independent samples in 64
empirical papers published in the last 30 years, including 25,827
observations and 1,239 effect sizes. Results reveal that partitioned COO has
a significant, positive influence on consumer behavior; however, our
subgroup analysis demonstrates that the impact on purchase intention is
significantly larger than product evaluation and brand evaluation.
Moreover, findings disclose that country-of-brand (COB) effect is the
largest and interacts strongly with purchase intention than the effects and
interactions of the other partitioned sub-components. Again, the
moderator analysis shows that these effects depend on contextual and
methodological factors (i.e., cues, culture, product stimulus level, product
category, and study design). These findings advance COO research by
clarifying the anecdotal mixed results, pointing out relevant managerial
implications, and identifying potential avenues for further research.

标题: Influence of different levels of ethnocentrism of the Brazilian

摘要: Dulce de leche, a concentrated dairy product with high added value, is
an essential product of Brazilian culture. However, with a competitive
market among economic blocks, it is important to know if the country of
origin influences the perception of consumers and the intention to
purchase a product, aiming to boost production in the domestic market.
This study aimed to assess the impact of different levels of ethnocentrism
on the consumer perception and buying behavior toward dulce de leche
(DL) from other countries (Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil). Through an
online survey, participants' demographic data (n = 224) was collected. Then
they were encouraged to identify the purchase motivation using the Hard
Laddering (HL) methodology and to assess the consumer's level of
ethnocentrism (CE) with CESTSCALE. Three distinct groups were identified:
high, moderate, and low ethnocentric. Consumers with high CE declared
themselves conservative, with a more significant number of self-employed
workers, and prefer and always buy national products. This group had a
robust dominant chain only for the national product, highlighting the flavor
and quality, and values of nationalism and solidarity with local producers.
On the other hand, consumers with low CE were self-declared liberal and
had a higher level of education. They demonstrated significantly more
favorable attitudes and intentions towards purchasing imported products
due to improved quality, although patriotic behavior was also evident. We
conclude that with CETSCALE, it was possible to identify that the sample of
the Brazilian population studied has different levels of CE, which strongly
impact the purchase attitude of products, especially the imported ones.
However, it was only through the HL technique that it was noticed that, in
addition to its intrinsic characteristics, patriotism is an important factor for
the product and can be used as a sales motivator. This study demonstrated
the importance of promoting the development of DL in the domestic
market and encourage aspects of the origin, as they are fundamental in the
choice of this product by the consumer, which helps local industries.

摘要: Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the impacts of country-of-origin (COO) cues,
country-related affect (CRA) and country-related product associations
(CRPA) on consumers' intention to purchase hotel services.
Design/methodology/approach
A survey of 305 respondents was conducted. Mediation and conditional
process tests were performed to examine the proposed theoretical
framework.
Findings
The results suggest that CRA is positively correlated with consumer trust,
which, in turn, affects purchase intention. For consumers with a high (vs
low) level of consumer ethnocentrism (CE), the effect of CRA on trust is
weaker. CRPA is positively correlated with both consumer trust and price
perception, which, in turn, affect purchase intention. For consumers with
rich subjective knowledge (SK) of hotel services, the effect of CRPA on price
perception is weaker. The effects of COO stereotypes and the moderation
effects of CE and SK hold after controlling for consumers' age, gender,
income, education and objective knowledge.
Practical implications
Hospitality practitioners can make use of different types of country-related
information to communicate effectively with consumers in a global
environment.
Originality/value
This research is the first to discover the different mechanisms underlying
different types of COO and the boundary conditions on these effects.

摘要: This research aims to examine the effect of cultural dimensions and
country of origin image on consumers' purchase intention. This study is
conducted on the individual level and hypothesizes that masculinity and
uncertainty avoidance, two dimensions of Hofstede's framework of national
culture, and country-of-origin (COO) image have a significant impact on
purchase intention. The study also explores the mediating effect of product
evaluation and the perceived quality of Japanese cars. The data collected in
the scope of this study puts forward an online survey questionnaire of 430
Tunisian consumers. At a preliminary stage, an Exploratory Factor Analysis
(EFA) was run using SPSS, then a Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was
conducted using AMOS. The findings show that COO has a significant
positive effect on purchase intention of Japanese products, whereas
masculinity has a significant negative effect. The results also confirm that
uncertainty avoidance has no substantial direct effect on this purchase
intention. The study's prominent contribution is to empirically determine
the extent to which consumers' intent to purchase Japanese products is
driven by their cultural orientation, product origin, and quality judgment.

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of
country-of-origin (COO) cues and pricing perspective based on the
third-party seller's name, intermediary, on consumers' purchasing decisions
on e-commerce sites. A model was proposed to investigate consumers'
perception toward sellers' online reputation, the mediating role of trust
between the reputation of third-party sellers and attitude toward
e-commerce as an intermediary, and attitude toward third-party sellers. In
addition, this study also looks at the pricing threshold of consumers who
are willing to buy from a third-party seller that has a negative COO cue,
which is an area that has received limited attention in e-commerce studies.
Design/methodology/approach The paper opted for an experimental study
using survey data gathered from general American consumers. Two studies
were conducted. One hundred seventy surveys were gathered for study 1,
and 171 surveys were gathered for study 2. The two studies had two
product snippets which showed an Amazon product page with a list of
third-party sellers. For study 2, all variables were kept the same - reviews
and ratings for both products and sellers, delivery time, descriptions,
e-commerce as an intermediary and brand of a bag - except for the price.
Findings The findings showed that consumers' perceived reputation of a
third-party seller has a positive impact on their attitude toward the seller
and toward the e-commerce intermediary. In addition, the role of a positive
COO influences attitudes and intentions. However, this influence is
moderated by price when price is noticeably higher when compared to an
alternative option provided by a seller from a country with a lower COO
evaluation. This study suggests that the benefits of a positive COO diminish
when a seller with a lower COO evaluation is able to provide a lower price
for the product. In study 1, the results show that positive COO trumps
negative COO. In study 2, the result shows that consumers lean toward a
lower-price product and disregard their evaluation toward the COO.
Furthermore, in study 2, results show that in order for the pricing to offset
the negative COO attributes of a third-party seller, the price needs to be
within 22-30% lower than the American seller's product pricing. Research
limitations/implications With the chosen research approach, the research
results may lack generalizability for the other markets (e.g. Asian consumer
market). Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test the proposed
propositions further. Originality/value This study highlights the implications
of COO cues such as sellers' names and how they impact consumers'
willingness to purchase a product. The second study investigates
consumers' willingness to purchase when the pricing for a product sold by a
negative COO seller versus a positive COO seller is different in an
e-commerce environment. In addition, the second study determines that
the role of trust has more impact on consumers' attitude toward a
third-party seller than it has on their attitude toward the e-commerce
intermediary.

摘要: This research empirically analyzed whether the foods which came
from a non-Muslim majority country, such as South Korea, could play an
important role in affecting the consumer intention in a predominantly
Muslim country. Online survey methods were used to investigate the
proposed hypothesis. 318 responses were used for further analysis.
Forty-six reflective constructs were adapted from literature and designed by
using a five-point Likert scale to facilitate measurement. Estimation models
and structural models were examined through SEM-PLS analysis techniques
using SmartPLS 3.0 application as the data processing tool. The results
showed that religiosity and halal awareness had a positive and significant
effect on attitude toward halal labels, including the mediating effect from
consumer attitudes towards halal labels which had a positive but
insignificant effect on purchase intention. Halal awareness plays an
important role for Muslims in the decision-making process for purchasing
food. In contrast to the initial hypothesis, the country of origin actually did
not have a positive effect on attitudes towards the halal label. In a
Muslim-majority country like Indonesia, findings halal food is not difficult,
so this research basically is a reminder to marketers to follow those halal
principles in implementing their marketing strategies.

摘要: Knowing the tastes and needs of consumers is a key aspect in the
literature review on consumer behaviour. This becomes even more
important when it comes to selling across borders, in international markets.
In other words, facing a different environment, both the tastes and the
needs of consumers are different compared to those that can be found in a
local market. Therefore, knowing how consumers behave takes on special
relevance in business internationalization. In order to determine this
behaviour, companies develop commercial research, which involves a large
investment of resources (especially when it comes to obtaining primary
information). Large companies usually have the resources to be able to
carry out this type of market research, but what about small and
medium-sized enterprises (SME's)? They generally do not have enough
resources to undertake a full commercial research experiment to investigate
the tastes and needs of customers in foreign market countries. The data
from this paper allow participating SME's to have a first understanding of
the tastes and needs of consumers in these countries-markets that are
being internationalized (in this case, through exports). The data provide the
precise information sought about consumers in those countries-markets
that are the target of internationalization. To this end, tourists visiting a
certain place have been analysed. Based on the information needs of these
companies (and on questionnaires found in the scientific literature), the
questionnaire for this experiment was drawn up and completed by tourists
who visited that particular place. The information collected by the
questionnaire was mainly focused on how consumers responded to some
of the main marketing variables: product, price and distribution, as well as,
gastronomic culture, "made in" effect and purchase intention. This valuable
information allowed the companies that participated in the experiment to
adapt their products to the tastes and needs of each international market
country targeted, and even led some of these companies to consider
market countries that were not previously considered for the exportation of
their products. (C) 2020 Published by Elsevier Inc.

摘要: Purpose This paper investigates the influence of firms' communication
in terms of family firm identity and country-of-origin on consumer
response. Design/methodology/approach A self-supplied online
experiment in Chile and Spain is employed using as dependent variables
brand trust and intention to buy. The experiment includes the following
factors: family firm identity (family vs non-family), country of origin
(national vs foreign) and as a manipulation check (type of product: hedonic
vs utilitarian). Findings The results indicate that communicating the family
firm identity increases brand trust and purchase intention. Consumers show
higher scores on trust and purchase intention when exposed to national
country of origin products. The effect of the variability on the dependent
variables is greater when the family firm identity is communicated. Trust
and purchase intention are different in Chilean and Spanish consumers
when the family firm identity is combined with a national country of origin
cue. Originality/value This article contributes to family business theory by
exploring how to capitalize on the family firm identity component in brand
communication. It also contributes to the theory of corporate brand identity
by proposing a communication model oriented toward consumer behavior.
It also examines firms' communication (family firm identity and
country-of-origin) on consumer.

摘要: The article adapts an estimation methodology from the border effects
literature to reveal consumer ethnocentrism versus cosmopolitanism in
each country, and animosity versus nostalgia between country pairs. The
measurements rely on actual macro cross-border trade data rather than
individual purchase intentions typically used in the international marketing
literature. The results from early 2010s suggest that purchasing intentions
against imports found in this literature do not necessarily translate into
actual consumption behavior in international trade. It is quite possible that
the consumers are unable to assess country of origin of production despite
growing ethnocentrism, and base their actual purchases on perceived origin
of product brands. Specifically, it is found that most countries are
cosmopolitan rather than ethnocentric, particularly developed countries,
favoring any foreign product over domestic products. Most countries also
have nostalgic purchasing behavior from specific trade partners with
historical linkages. Outside the specific traditional animosities between a
country pair, a developed country is relatively less open to imports from
another developed trade partner, while an emerging country welcomes it
more especially from another emerging trade partner.

摘要: We examined variables relevant to food products marketing in foreign
markets: perceptions of a product's country-of-origin (which may provide a
"halo effect" if positive), and consumers' tendencies to favor local vs.
imported goods for ideological reasons (consumer ethnocentrism). These
were explored in the context of marketing research related to expanding
U.S. dairy in China. An online survey of consumers (N = 505) in Beijing,
Shanghai, and Guangzhou showed that ethnocentrism was below scale
mid-point and did not vary across cities. Overall, higher purchase intention
was associated with more favorable evaluations of the U.S., and with lower
ethnocentrism, although there were some differences by region. Theoretical
and practical implications are discussed.

摘要: Purpose: This study began with a question of how Korean Wave is
recognized from the global perspective. It empirically analyzed consumers
in Kazakhstan, an economically advanced Muslim country in Central Asia, by
focusing on Muslim consumers' perspectives on Korean Wave and its
effects on country of origin.Research design, data, and methodology: In
order to verify the hypothesis presented in this study, 317 questionnaires
were collected from Almaty, Kazakhstan, and the data collected were
analyzed using Smart PLS 3.0.Results: The results of this study are as
follows. First, the better the Kazakhstan people's global perspective on
Korean Wave, the more positive the attitudes toward Korea. Second, the
better the Kazakhstan people's global perspective on Korean Wave, the
more positive the attitudes toward Korean companies. Third, Kazakhstan
people's attitudes toward Korea and Korean companies and products have
effects on their purchase intention of Korean products. Fourth, the better
the Kazakhstan people's global perspective on Korean Wave, the more
positive the attitudes toward Korean products. Finally, all paths through
which Kazakhstan people's global perspective on Korean Wave influence
attitudes toward Korea and Korean companies and products, and through
which these three variables influence the purchase intention of Korean
products were supported.Conclusions: This study began with a question of
how Hallyu is recognized from the global perspective. The results of this
study suggest that the global perspective have a positive impact on country
of origin effect at Islamic Culture. Korean government thus should support
the globalization of Korea not through online media such as internet and
Youtube, but also through offline media, by using more systematic
strategies for spreading Korean Wave across Muslim countries. Korean
companies should try to make Muslim countries' attitudes toward them
more favorable, by using strategies for enhancing their company images
through Korean Wave.

摘要: This study proposes a quantitative assessment of the results of
research on partitioned country of origin using a meta-analysis. The authors
systematically reviewed a total of 81 independent samples in 64 empirical
papers published in the last 30 years, involving 25,483 respondents and
1,239 effect sizes, to assess: a) the overall effect of selected COO
sub-components (country of assembly, country of brand, country of design,
country of manufacture, and country of parts) on product evaluation, brand
evaluation, and purchase intentions; and b) the effect of selected
methodological and theoretical characteristics of the studies (e.g., number
of cues, sampling procedure, product type, study design, etc.) on the
variance of the results. Findings reveal that partitioned country of origin
dimensions have a positive, significant influence on consumer behavior in
terms of product evaluation, brand evaluation, and purchase decision. The
study contributes to the advancement of COO research by facilitating
empirical and quantitative assessments of the theoretical and
methodological shortcomings that affect the relevance and generalizability
of this field of study, identifying and proposing potential avenues for
further research.

摘要: The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of
country-of-origin on the consumer purchase intention considering the
mediating role of the dimensions of brand equity. The population of this
study included buyers of home appliances in Tehran. Random sampling was
used to determine the sample of the study. Infinite sample size
determination formula was used to determine the sample size. 384 people
were selected as the sample of the study. A researcher-made questionnaire
was used for data collection; the validity of the questionnaire was confirmed
by some experienced professors and experts and the reliability of that was
obtained as 95.7% and confirmed by using Cronbach's alpha. PLS software
and the implementation of the structural equation modelling were used for
data analysis. The results showed that the country-of-origin image
significantly affects the dimensions of the brand equity (brand awareness,
perceived quality, brand association, and brand loyalty); moreover, the
brand equity dimensions significantly affect the purchase intention.

摘要: The implementation of the E-Commerce Law in 2019 has made
cross-border e-commerce platforms become the preferred channel for
cross-border consumption.Therefore,it is of great significance to study the
impact of cross-border ecommerce platform user experience on purchase
intention.Based on review and analysis of literatures,a hypothetical
relationship model between user experience and purchase intention is
established.Based on the questionnaire survey data,the relationship
between and influence on each other of the indicators are empirically
verified by combining factor analysis and regression analysis.The research
findings show that the factors of practicality,product,service and association
in user experience positively affect the purchase intention; experience value
and trust degree play a mediating role,and consumer experience value
positively affects trust degree; the image of origin country has a positive
regulating effect between trust degree and purchase intention.On this
basis,relevant countermeasures and suggestions for cross-border
e-commerce platform are proposed herein.

摘要: Ukraine's geopolitical past has created a unique environment for
consumer socialization and global marketing. This study investigated
possible cohort differences in the ways that Ukrainians evaluate bi-national
products for Procter & Gamble (P&G) according to country of origin.
Results of a survey show the majority of Ukrainian consumers are aware that
P&G products sold in Ukraine are made locally, despite their United States
branding. Cohort differences emerged with respect to country of
manufacture (COM) awareness and purchase intention for products
manufactured outside of Ukraine. This research demonstrates consumer
understanding of the difference between the country of branding and COM
of P&G products.

摘要: This study validates the relationship between the perceived brands of
Korean wave and country-of-origin image (COI) of Korea on the basis of
categorization and stereotype content theories. Data collected from local
consumers in Vietnam are analyzed using structural equation modeling.
Our findings show that perceived brand globalness significantly affects the
competence and warmth of COI. The perceived brand localness only has a
positive effect on warmth. COI positively influences foreign consumers'
attitudes and purchasing intentions. Emotional and cognitive aspects are
considered to explain the complex relationships between foreign
consumers' perceived brands and COI and their effects on purchasing
behavior. Our study shows the positive roles of Korean wave brands as a
cue to stimulate competent and warm stereotypes of COI.

摘要: The paper investigates one aspect of the cross-cultural influence upon
consumer purchase intentions, namely the relevance and importance of the
perceived country of origin (COO). It examines COO effects to explore
whether a product or brand's origin country has an influence on consumers'
purchase intention, taking the case of Chinese consumers' purchasing
preferences for mobile telephones. It uses the Keller brand equity (CBBE)
model to examine the relationship between its different components. The
study uses a quantitative online survey of 826 effective respondents as well
as 25 qualitative in-depth interviews. The results of the study show that: (1)
Chinese consumers attached more importance to the 'functional'
dimensions of the CBBE model rather than the more 'emotional' aspects. (2)
The COO effect does appear to have an influence on purchasing preference,
however this effect appears to be declining. Finally, the paper delivers
managerial implications for global and domestic brands dealing with
cross-cultural decisions, using the international mobile phone market as an
example.

摘要: Luxury brands have generally been consumed by the well-to-do group
among society. Nonetheless, from the mid 21st century, luxury item
markets have been extended to customer groups with middle-class and
lower-class earnings. In this perspective, this research attempts to identify
Korean consumers behaviors in the context of luxury vehicle market, by
confirming effects of country-of-origin images on consumers’ purchase
intention, mediating brand prestige, brand credibility, and perceived
quality. Furthermore, the dimensions of country-of-origin image in this
study has been divided into three dimensions of functional
country-of-origin, social country-of-origin, and dynamic country-of-origin.
For the purpose of empirical study, a survey has been conducted to Korean
consumers focusing on the effects of country-of-origin image on purchase
intention by selecting the brand of Mercedes-Benz manufactured by
Germany. A total of 324 questionnaires have been used for final analysis. By
utilizing SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 18.0, the results of structural equation model
have confirmed the positive effects of functional country-of-origin effects
on brand prestige and brand credibility, while the other components of
country-of-origin image have not shown significant effects on brand
prestige and brand credibility. In addition, the effect of brand prestige on
brand credibility has been significantly associated, and the relationship of
brand prestige and brand credibility with perceived quality have also been
turned out to be positively linked. Lastly, the effects of brand prestige,
brand credibility, and perceived quality on purchase intention have been
shown to be positively associated.

出版年: 2019
摘要: This study aims to investigate drivers of purchase intention for
imported powder milk by using the PLS-SEM approach to analyse a data
survey of 449 customers in Vietnam. The findings indicate that
ethnocentrism has no significant impact on perceived product quality.
Meanwhile, the country of origin has a significant positive effect on
perceived product quality, brand attitude, and purchase intention. However,
as separating the country of origin in the first-order construct, information
of the country's technology is preferred than that of the country of
manufacture. Specifically, foreign product knowledge plays a crucial role in
purchase intention. Customers will devote more time to seeking
information of imported products before buying. Notably, the subjective
norm is an essential predictor of purchase intention and product attitude, in
which other people around customers can affect their determination and
attitude. The research also conducted a qualitative approach to insight
results to make recommendations for managerial implications.

摘要: The aim of the study is to find the determinants of the decision to
purchase medical services in other countries. The following hypothesis is
tested: the image of the country of origin, the power of the country and the
origin of the consumer influence the consumer's intentions to purchase
medical services. An international comparison has been carried out, in
which 264 respondents from Poland, Germany and Lithuania have
participated. The data have been collected with the use of a questionnaire
form developed by the authors, and they have been analysed with a mixed
regression analysis. The results show that the readiness to purchase medical
services differs, depending on the country of origin of services, the power of
the country and the origin of the consumer. The results of the research can
be applied in business practice and in the strategies developed by
institutions shaping the image of the country and positioning it in the
international context.

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the consistency over
time of customer attitude towards country-of-origin in a transitional
economy.
Design/methodology/approach A single cross-sectional study in
Uzbekistan was carried out, with n=527, consisting of 374 street and 153
online surveys, replicating a study carried out 20 years earlier.
Findings Whilst consumers still perceive products from advanced countries
to have higher quality, quality perception in relation to country-of-origin
information is dynamic and transitional countries can improve the
perception of consumers towards their national brands.
Research limitations/implications This study was carried out in Tashkent,
the capital of Uzbekistan, the most populous of the Central Asian republics.
Researchers may wish to extend it by examining COO effects in other
transitional economies, and additionally to examine the effect of
country-of-brand origin.
Practical implications Customer perceptions and attitudes take a long-time
to evolve. This cross-sectional study showed that the COO perception of
China has improved significantly and the perception towards the products
produced locally in Uzbekistan has also slightly improved across all
categories. Strong brands can contribute to the image of the country.
Transition countries need to take appropriate marketing actions to cultivate
positive perception through innovation and branding.
Originality/value Prior research has been extended by adding new product
categories such as mobile phones, computers, washing machines and air
conditioners. This research shows that government officials and exporters in
developing countries should prioritise strengthening their country's image
to help domestic marketers export and attract foreign investors. The
authors provide insights for marketers to understand the impact of product
country-of-origin on customer purchase intention and its antecedents in
transitional economies, such as Uzbekistan.

摘要: As we live in an age of social media where pop mass-culture of foreign
origin permeates deep into many realms of living and consumption
behavior of the host country, it seems highly appropriate to investigate how
global transmission of pop culture makes an impact on the host consumers'
purchase decisions on the products of cultural origin. To further investigate
this phenomenon, this research proposes "C-O-CO (country-of-cultural
origin) model" that embraces two mediating factors (e.g., country image
and SNS-based WOM) and two personal factors (e.g., demographics and
individualism). We found that host consumers' cultural experience directly
influences their intention to buy products of cultural origin or indirectly
through country image and WOM. Further, we found that individualism
significantly moderates the relationship between the cultural experience
and WOM. Finally, demographics play a role on consumers' experience of
foreign pop culture.

摘要: Customer's product identification with respect to country-of-design
(COD), country-of-manufacturer (COM), and country-of-assembly (COA)
has become a driver or a communication tool regarding customers'
purchase intention and use of a product. This article, (1) reviews the
literature in relation to the effect of country-of-origin (COO) on buyer's
evaluation of domestic products or brands, and (2) Proposed a conceptual
model depicting the trajectory through which COO impact on consumer
purchase intention towards a domestic product/brand. The current study
implores a qualitative inquiry with a specific focus on document analysis as
well as experts' opinions. From the literature, it has emerged that
country-of-origin effect (notably, COD, COM, and COA) plays a significant
role in determining consumer's buying decisions towards both domestic
and foreign products. Additionally, it was discovered that
country-of-manufacture determines a product/ brand evaluation (in terms
of quality) relatively to COD and COA. Practically, the study is important for
countries (especially resource-poor and developing countries) that need to
increase manufactured exports and for firms that sourced/import products
in countries different from where they are sold. Theoretically, it widens the
concept of brand management with the interplay of COO effect on
consumer purchase intention. Marketing inferences are drawn, and
direction for future research is developed in the entire manuscript.

摘要: In the period of market globalisation, global trade has changed
immensely. Country-of - origin play a significant role in global marketing as
it has created huge market opportunities for both firm and countries
around the globe. Many companies are venturing in overseas market as
they would benefit from a larger market share and lower cost of the goods
and hence, these companies have to mention about the country-of-origin
on the label of their products so that consumers can know where the goods
originate from. This research will enable entrepreneurs and businesses who
are in the commercial industry to have a better insight on the perception of
consumers about the country-of-origin effects in the context of brands of
mobile phones. The study further highlighted about the impact of a
country's image on the consumers' purchase intentions. For this study, both
qualitative and quantitative approach were used and both primary and
secondary data were captured with the usage of convenience sampling
technique. With evolutions in technology and mobile phones sectors, it was
imperative to investigate on the above topic so as to reveal insightful
details about country-of-origin effect on consumer buying behaviours as
well as on country-of-manufacture and country-of-assembly.

摘要: In order to understand more the value of the Country of Origin (COO)
in the fashion industry and the effect in the brand image and also consumer
perceptions and purchase intentions, recent studies have highlighted the
importance of considering the label "Made in" in the clothing field. The fast
fashion is mostly produced in Asia, in countries like Vietnam or Bangladesh,
while the luxury brands are producing in Europe with the label "Made in
Italy" or "Made in France". The trend of local production is also growing,
while the new Chinese consumers are looking for the sophistication of the
Western countries. Thus, in order to provide guidance for future research
related to country of origin and fashion, the present paper aims at
reviewing existing research and synthesizing main approaches and findings.
In particular, this review seeks to screen existing studies published in period
2009-2017 using Science Direct and Scopus database with the following
keywords: Country of Origin and Fashion, with regard to their a) effect of
the country of origin b) research focus, c) type of study/paper, d) the
sample used, e) analyzed relationships, and fi the different types of fashion
items which are covered and linked with country of origin.

摘要: This paper examines key determinants and the effect of
country-of-origin on customer's purchase intention of functional food and
dietary supplement product in Vietnam. Exploratory study was identified to
evaluate personal and social factors on customer's buying behavior.
Twenty-eight reflective constructs were adapted from literature and
designed by using a seven-point Likert scale to facilitate measurement. By
using non-probability convenience sampling, data was collected from a
survey of 242 Vietnamese who have experienced in buying functional and
supplement food. This paper employed partial least square structural
equation modeling (PLS-SEM) as a technique employed to analyze the
measurement and structural models. The findings provide evidence that
social prestige customer perceives and their positive attitude toward
functional food which are main factors influencing on consumers' purchase
intention. Customer's perceived prestige plays an important role in
decision-making process to purchase. The higher social prestige taken up in
consumers' mind, the higher consumers' purchase intention is. Moreover,
the more positive attitude customer holds toward functional food, the
higher consumers' purchase intention. The research results provide useful
information in current understanding of what antecedents determine
factors influencing customer's intention to purchase functional food and
lead to managerial implications for business strategies.

标题: Inconsistencies in the behavioural effects of consumer ethnocentrism
The role of brand, product category and country of origin

摘要: Purpose Despite the well-established impact of consumer
ethnocentrism (CET) on purchase intentions, extant literature offers limited
evidence on actual purchase behaviour. The purpose of this paper is to
address the gap by investigating the factors underlying variations in CET
behaviour using reported brand purchases. Product category, product cost
and visibility, brand and country of origin (COO) of purchased products are
investigated for their impact on the differences in the behavioural effects of
CET.
Design/methodology/approach - This study uses survey data collected in
the USA from a sample of 468 consumers. Self-reported brand purchases
are used and involve ten product categories, 432 brands, and 22 countries
of origin. Logistic regressions for repeated measures are used to test the
hypotheses formulated.
Findings - The results confirm that product category is an important
determinant of the behavioural effects of CET. CET also has a significant
impact on purchases of the most expensive product categories rather than
frequently purchased convenient items. Contrary to existing empirical
evidence, cultural similarity does not mitigate the negative effects of CET
and product visibility does not strengthen the behavioural effect of CET.
Practical implications - The study results should enhance managers'
understanding of the determinants of ethnocentric behaviour. The results
caution managers about the value of self-reported measures and indicate
that product features other than COO may be more effective in mitigating
the negative effects of CET.
Originality/value - This study contributes to extant literature on CET and
COO by investigating, for the first time, the problem of inconsistent
predictions of purchase behaviour in the context of foreign vs domestic
brands. For this purpose, the study adopted a novel methodological
approach to investigate actual brand purchases.

标题: A store brand's country-of-origin or store image: what matters to
consumers?

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to assess the relative
importance of country-of-origin (COO) and its dimensions - country of
design (COD), country of technology (COT), and country of manufacture
(COM) - in comparison to store image in terms of consumer product
evaluation and purchase intention of store brands. The authors also explore
consumer regulatory focus effects.
Design/methodology/approach - Empirical data were collected from 270
young Korean adults. Two scenarios were given using two
high-involvement store brands, an electronic product and clothing product
that have hedonic and utilitarian elements. Data analysis was conducted
using AMOS structural equation modeling software.
Findings - COO affects product evaluation and purchase intention and store
image affects purchase intention. By product, store image influences
product evaluation and purchase intention (electronics). COO directly
influences purchase intention (clothing). By COO dimensions, overall COD
weakly affects product evaluation. COT affects electronic product
evaluation but directly affects clothing purchase intention.
Promotion-focused consumers use COO for product evaluation, with store
image directly affecting purchase intention. Promotion-focused consumers
consider COD, an affective dimension, and COM in product evaluations.
Prevention-focused consumers did not consider COO, but consider store
image for product evaluation. Prevention-focused consumers consider
utilitarian COT and COM dimensions during product evaluation.
Originality/value - This is the first paper to consider the simultaneous effect
of COO (and its dimensions) and store image on product evaluation and
purchase intention. It is also the first to consider the regulatory focus theory
with regards to COO and store image evaluative and purchase intention
criteria.

摘要: Social network sites have been used to market a variety of products
and services. The aim of this paper is to examine the marketing of sport
coaching services on social network sites. A Facebook page of a fictitious
sports coaching service was set up. The control group (n = 51) was exposed
to a page with only minimal information on the coaching service.
Experimental group 1 (n = 51) was presented with additional information
on the wall page consisting of "likes" votes and positive comments about
the coaching service. Experimental group 2 (n = 51) was presented with
additional information on the nationality of the sports coach. The findings
suggested that social influence on social network site could affect
consumers' perceived quality and purchase intention for sports coaching
services. However, information on the nationality of the sports coach did
not statistically affect the perceived quality and purchase intention for the
sports coaching service.

摘要: This study sets to find out the mediating effect of country of origin
between the four constructs namely reputation, trust, ethnocentrism,
quality and consumers' purchase intention. Four of the five predictors play a
significant role at varying degrees at varying degree on consumer purchase
intention. To examine this further, data was collected from 150 respondents
through purposive sampling method using a questionnaire. The proposed
model was tested with the help of PLS structural equation modelling and
other relevant statistical tools. The study emphasised the fact that all
predictor variables except ethnocentrism have a significant impact on
consumer purchase intention. In the presence of mediation, reputation and
ethnocentrism had no impact on purchase intention. This study will
contribute significantly to the existing research and further help to
understand the consumer perceptions to improve the marketing strategies.
The proposed model will enhance the strategy formulation process of
various organisations by designing sustainable models of customer
acquisition and retention strategies. The limitation of the study was its
limited focus on the above variables, and its narrow focus on the younger
age group.

摘要: There is a dearth of new product design research that investigates the
impact of varying levels of design newness coupled with technical newness
on consumer evaluations for incremental and radical innovations across
utilitarian and hedonic product categories through the lens of
country-oforigin (COO). In today's world, innovation may originate from
both developed and emerging economies. Our research investigates
consumer responses when incrementally new and/or radically new products
come from developed as well as developing countries. Through four
experimental studies, we found that consumers preferred high level of
design newness in incrementally innovative utilitarian product category and
low level of design newness in radically innovative utilitarian product
category when products originate from developed countries (developed
COO situation). High level of design newness was preferred for both
incrementally new and really (radically) new utilitarian products originating
from developing countries (emerging COO situation). In contrast,
consumers preferred high level of design newness in both incrementally
and radically innovative hedonic product categories during developed COO
situation; and consumers preferred high level of design newness for
incrementally new hedonic products while avoiding radically new hedonic
products completely during emerging COO situation. The results have
important implications for researchers and managers in developing
incremental and radical innovations by understanding differential
performance effects of levels of design and technical newness with respect
to developed versus emerging COO situations and consumer purchase
intentions.

标题: Does the country of origin of a halal logo matter? The case of
packaged food purchases
来源出版物: REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND STRATEGY
卷: 27
期: 4
页: 484-500
DOI: 10.1108/RIBS-06-2017-0049
出版年: 2017
摘要: Purpose - This paper aims to model consumers' decision to use halal
logo on packaged food products. The model primarily tests the importance
of country of origin (COO) of a halal logo as an indicator for assessing
credibility of a halal logo, and its relevance in consumers' decision to use
the logo in packaged food purchase.
Design/methodology/approach - A data set from a survey of 559
respondents from two countries was used to test eight hypotheses that
were developed based on a modified theory of planned behaviour
framework, using partial least squares procedures.
Findings - Halal certification logo was found to have COO effect on
consumers' evaluation during purchase decision of food items. Consumer
uses information on the COO of a halal logo to assess the logo's credibility
in delivering the halal food standard. The construct, along with the
constructs of religiosity and its interaction terms, subjective norms and
attitude, explains consumers' intention to consider the halal logo during
packaged food purchase.
Research limitations/implications - Generalization of the findings is limited
to the packaged food industry and to the consumer groups surveyed in the
two countries.
Practical implications - There is a need for marketers to recognize Muslim
consumers' sensitivity towards the origin of a halal logo in choosing the
right logo for their products. Logo certifiers may want to consider adopting
marketing strategies to market their certification as a credible marker of a
halal food standard.
Originality/value - The effect of COO of halal logo and its influence on
consumers' decision to use the logo in purchase decision are new to the
literature.

摘要: Purpose - Extant research shows that consumers regularly misclassify
country-of-origin (COO) associated with brands. The purpose of this paper
is to examine changes in behavioral intentions (i.e. purchase intentions for
self and others and brand judgments) when consumers are made aware
that they have misclassified the COO and then are informed of the brand's
correct origin. Drawing on cognitive dissonance theory, the authors also
explore the moderating roles of consumer affinity, animosity, and product
knowledge.
Design/methodology/approach - Two experiments test the direct and
moderating effects of COO misclassification awareness on behavioral
intentions.
Findings - The findings show detrimental effects of misclassification on
behavioral intentions when consumers have high affinity with misclassified
COO. Moreover, the experiments demonstrate a significantly greater
decrease in behavioral intentions among experts than novices in the
low-affinity condition and the reverse effect in the high-affinity condition.
Originality/value - This research is the first to compare consumer behavioral
responses before and after COO misclassification awareness. The study
demonstrates that cognitive dissonance underpins the process of
misclassification. It also contributes to COO literature by examining the
interaction of consumer affinity and animosity with product knowledge and
their influence on consumer behavior in the case of COO misclassification.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to analyze how national
stereotype, country of origin (COO), and fashion brand's images influence
consumers' brand evaluations and purchase intentions regarding fashion
collections. Korea (Seoul) and overseas (New York and Paris) collections are
compared and analyzed.
Design/methodology/approach - The authors conduct a structural equation
modeling and multi-group analysis using data collected from Seoul, New
York, and Paris.
Findings - Consumers make higher brand evaluations and ultimately have
stronger purchase intentions toward fashion collections from countries that
have stronger COO and fashion brand images. In the context of fashion
collections, COO image is greatly influenced by a nation's political
economic and cultural artistic images. In addition, comparing the domestic
Seoul fashion collection with New York and Paris collections reveals that a
national stereotype images, COO images of fashion collection, and fashion
brand's images cause different brand evaluation and purchase intention.
Originality/value - The overarching value of the study is that it expands
COO research, which has been limited to actual products. Also, the results
provide a basic foundation for establishing marketing strategy based on
COO image as a way to enhance the development and image of fashion
collection.

摘要: Increased community awareness on various environmental problems
has changed consumers' behaviors and induced purchasing decisions on
green products. Applying the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study
aims to explain the effects (i.e., attitude, subjective norm, and perceived
behavioral control) on purchase intention of green skincare products; it also
aims to determine if country of origin (COO) and price sensitivity moderate
the links between purchase intention and its antecedences. Data collected
from 300 respondents in Taiwan are tested against the research model by
using structural equation modelling. The results indicate that attitude,
subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control have a significant impact
on purchase intention of green skincare products, and that country of origin
and price sensitivity can enhance the positive effects on the links between
purchase intention and its antecedences. The findings of this study present
important theoretical and practical implications for consumer green
product purchase behaviors.

摘要: This study explores how the appropriation of another country's
cultural initiatives by a consumer can influence country of origin (COO)
effects and how this might be explained using theory on the positioning of
stereotypes. The first of two empirical studies identifies a measure of
cultural appropriation relevant to the context of the Hallyu (or the Korean
Wave) using a Q sort methodology (n = 30). The second study investigates
the influence of cultural appropriation on the COO effect and purchase
intentions for two product types, performance and personal (n = 218). The
results suggest that cultural appropriation positively influences the COO
effect (attitude toward the country, its companies, and its products) and
purchase intentions, via an enhanced COO effect. However, the analyses
show that effects differ between the performance product and the personal
product. Cultural appropriation influence occurs mainly via an enhanced
COO effect for the performance product and from a direct influence over
purchase intentions for the personal product. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights

摘要: A rapid development of international trade in health services started
in the late 1990s, and it is now known in the literature as medical tourism.
Despite the growing interest of scientists, the phenomenon is not well
recognized, and some aspects remain relatively scarcely studied. World
literature on the internationalization of medical services focuses
predominantly on describing the market and entities operating on it, and
very few research papers have been devoted to the issue of medical tourism
in Europe. The authors of the presented article focus on the consumer's
perception of the medical services. The theoretical base for a given research
paper is the concept referring to the effect of the country of origin (COO).
The aim of the study is to answer the following questions: 1/Does the image
of a country influence the purchase intentions for medical services; 2/How
do the purchase intentions for medical services vary, dependent on the
country of origin of the service. Data have been collected using a
questionnaire developed by the authors. In order to provide an in-depth
analysis, a weighted COO coefficient has been introduced. 264 respondents
have participated in the research. The data have been collected from
German, Lithuanian and Polish participants. The analysis of regression has
been applied as a statistical method. The results confirm that the image of
the country is crucial for purchase intentions. Readiness to purchase
medical services varies between services offered by Germany, Lithuania and
Poland: the lowest is for the Polish medical services, and the highest for the
services offered in Germany. The results of the research can be applied in
business practice and in the strategies developed by institutions shaping
the image of the country and positioning it in the international context.

标题: The central role of the reputation of country-of-origin firms in

摘要: Purpose - This study aims to test the central role of the perceived
reputation of country-of-origin (COO) firms between cultural and
socio-psychological variables and management and economic variables
that help to explain the multi-faceted phenomenon of COO on a
developing market. It also tests the moderator role of ethnocentrism, which
is the objective of recommending different segment marketing strategies
for international firms.
Design/methodology/approach - The study opted for the structure
equation modelling methodology to analyze data collected from 274
Mexican car owners who evaluate Korean automobiles.
Findings - The results show that the COO reputation of firms from a
developing market has a mediating role on the relationship between
cultural openness and animosity and trust, risk and purchase intention, but
the consequents of the perceived reputation of COO vary depending on the
level of consumers' ethnocentrism.
Research limitations/implications - Firms seeking to internationalize need
to find out how to overcome the hurdle of target market animosity, to
increase the cultural openness and to promote trust and purchases in
international markets; at the same time, they reduce the perception of risk.
In this sense, it might help to increase the perceived reputation of COO
firms and to use different marketing strategies according to the target
market.
Originality/value - This study analyzes reputation of firms associated to a
COO as a signal that can help to solve purchase decisions in the relationship
between consumers and firms from developing markets and also
corroborates its role as a mediator factor. In addition, this study empirically
tests how animosity and cultural openness influence perceived reputation
of COO firms, relationships that has scarcely been studied in literature. This
study has also found that less and more ethnocentric consumers have
differences in how the COO cues influence on their evaluations and
behaviour. Finally, as insufficient consumer research has been conducted
into emerging and developing markets, this study focuses on consumers
from a developing country and regards automobiles from an emerging
country.

标题: Country-of-origin versus brand: consumers' dilemma when choosing
between generic and branded drugs in emerging countries

摘要: Purpose - Taking an emerging country perspective, this paper aims to
investigate consumers' preferences for over-the-counter (OTC) drugs,
regarding three attributes: country-of-origin (COO), brand status (branded
versus generic) and price. The second purpose is to test the effect of COO
and brand status on consumers' perceptions of quality, trust and
purchasing intentions.
Design/methodology/approach - After a preliminary qualitative study,
consumers answered a follow-up questionnaire to evaluate eight product
combinations (COO/brand status/price) for three categories of OTC drugs.
Conjoint analysis allowed assessing the importance of COO compared to
brand status and price, while ANOVA was used to test the effect of COO
and branding status on consumers' responses.
Findings - Findings show that, in an emerging countries context, COO is less
important than brand status in consumers' preferences. COO and brand
status have a greater effect on consumers' perceptions of drug quality and
trust than on purchasing intentions.
Research limitations/implications - The limited number of factors (brand
status/COO/price) could have amplified their relative importance.
Practical implications - Pharmaceutical companies from industrialized
countries, exporting generic drugs to emerging markets, can benefit from
the favorably perceived COO of their drugs and thus help the acceptance of
generic drugs in these markets.
Originality/value - The study has two major contributions. It aims to
contribute to a better understanding of consumer behavior in the
pharmaceutical field. It also transposes the framework on COO to the
context of an emerging country: Tunisia.

The effectiveness of COO-positioning as an alternative managerial strategy
for promoting functional foods with a COO-appeal is examined. An online
survey has been administered to young consumers from thirteen European
countries. COO-effects on consumers' health evaluations about the
functional ingredient L Casei Shirota and purchase intentions related to
hypothetical Shirota-fortified products have been tested. A positive main
effect of COO-associations related to Japanese functional foods on both
ingredient healthiness perception and purchase intention occurs. The
moderating COO-effect intensifies the favorable impact of ingredient
healthiness perception on purchase intention. An indirect effect of
ingredient familiarity on purchase intention via ingredient healthiness
perception is observed at high and moderate COO-levels, while at low
COO-levels no mediation takes place. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

摘要: Retailers recently became required to provide specific
country-of-origin information for muscle cuts of beef, chicken, pork, lamb,
and goat. Drawing from the consumer inference and activation theory
literatures, hypotheses are offered regarding how consumers use
country-of-origin labeling (COOL) to draw inferences related to specific
product attributes and how these inferences, in turn, lead to differences in
mediation effects for purchase intentions. Results from a pilot study and
two experiments reveal that consumers are more likely to purchase meat
when it is identified as a U.S. product. Furthermore, the relative strength of
the mediating effects of perceived food safety, taste, and freshness differs
as expected. The authors show how the direct and indirect effects of the
country-of-origin disclosure are attenuated by the presentation of objective
information about the meat processing systems of competing countries.
Given the recently mandated COOL disclosures, results have important
implications for food retailers, members of the supply chain, and
consumers. (C) 2015 New York University. Published by Elsevier Inc. All

摘要: In modern and competitive era which global marketing is growing day
by day, consumer perceptions towards product country-of-origin has
changed from one to other new perspective. The new perception might
results in both possibilities either in favourable or unfavourable dimensions,
not excluded products from China. Growth of electronic devices in China
such as mobile phones is among relevant to be studied. Thus, this study
aims to investigate the determinant factors of country-of-origin that
consumer considers in purchasing mobile phones brand that originated
from China. Country image, perceived product quality and brand familiarity
have been used as pre-determined factors in measuring consumer's
purchase intention. A total of 200 set of questionnaires were distributed
randomly in Klang Valley. The hypotheses which were tested using Pearson
Correlation have revealed that all pre-determined variables are significant
and highly correlated in influencing consumer purchase intention towards
mobile phones brand from China. Other than providing a remarkable
change of people perceptions towards mobile phone brand from China, the
findings would also be very useful to consumers and marketers especially
who involve directly and indirectly with the country of China as their
product and service providers' origin. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V.

摘要: The paper analyzes the effect of country of origin (COO)
multidimensionality on theintention to buy Italian footwear in samples of
retail buyers operating in three differentcountries, namely Spain, Russia and
China. Specifically, it proposes a model aimed at testing the relationships
among three different country image dimensions – CountryImage (CI),
Product–Country Image (PCI), and Country-Related Product Image(CRPI) –
and the retail buyers’ intention to purchase products originating in
Italy,while also verifying the effect of product–country congruity (FIT). A
total of 483questionnaires were collected from samples of Spanish, Russian,
and Chinese fashion retailers and processed applying Structural Equation
Modeling (SEM). Results show that COO influences retail buyers through a
causal link within the three COOs’dimensions, reinforced by the FIT, as the
CI effect is fully mediated by PCI.Theoretical and managerial implications
for fashion firms are derived.

摘要: Purpose - This paper aims to investigate if trust plays a mediating role
on the country-of-origin (COO) brand reputation and consumer animosity
effects in determining consumers' purchase intentions in both emerging
and developed markets.
Design/methodology/approach - The paper opted for the structure
equation modelling methodology to analyse data collected from 476
Spanish and Mexican car owners who evaluate American automobiles.
Findings - The results show that in the emerging market economy, the
COO's brand reputation influences trust and purchase intention more than
in the mature market. Also, the results show that although trust plays an
important role in different markets because it mediates the effect of COO's
brand reputation on consumers' purchase intention in both emerging and
mature economies, it does not mediate the effect of animosity on purchase
intention in the analysed developed economy.
Research limitations/implications - The chosen category product presents
the shortcoming of being of a hybrid nature regarding their manufacturing
origin and research results may not be generalizable since we consider one
product of one COO.
Practical implications - COO's brand reputation is a key trigger of trust, and
can substitute absent regulatory institutional elements, especially in
emerging markets. In emerging markets, animosity could play an important
role in explaining the rejection of foreign products, but the increase of trust
could mitigate its negative effect on purchase intention.
Originality/value - This study distinguishes the mediating role of trust
between different interrelated COO variables and consumers' purchase
intentions in two different national contexts, and offers evidence that good
COO's brand reputation building is crucial for international marketing
success.

摘要: Drawing on the perspective of country of origin, this study provides
evidence regarding how entry-mode choice and postentry branding
strategy affect foreign product purchase intentions in an animosity context.
The authors conduct two studies in two host country markets, one with high
animosity (China) and the other with low animosity (Taiwan) toward a target
country (Japan). The results of Study 1 reveal that in a high-animosity host
country, consumers prefer the foreign products launched through an
acquisition joint venture to those that are imports or the derivatives of full
acquisition. The findings of Study 2 indicate that in a high-animosity host
country, consumers prefer the foreign products launched through an
acquisition joint venture mode that adopts a local brand or a local-foreign
cobrand to one that adopts a foreign-local cobrand. In contrast, in a
low-animosity host country, entry modes and postentry branding strategies
have no effect on foreign product purchase intentions.

摘要: Although a large body of research has documented country-of-origin
effects, very few works have inquired systematic differences in the content
of national stereotypes that shape attitudes toward foreign products and
their manufacturers. Drawing from the stereotype content model, the
authors propose that the often ignored warmth dimension of the origin
country is as important as (sometimes more important than) the
well-studied competence dimension in certain situations. As shown in two
studies, perceived warmth of the origin country predicts purchase intention
in normal situations as well as after product failure. Copyright (c) 2013 John

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to describe a study, conducted
in Thailand, which examined the working class and middle class consumers'
evaluation and purchase intentions of high equity versus low equity Thai
fashion labels of sophisticated and standard apparel, outsourced for
production to three Asian countries of varying manufacturing competence.
Design/methodology/approach - Data from a field survey was analysed
through a 2times2times3 factorial design and the influence of a particular
factor over the others in specific scenarios was observed. Findings Consumers from both social classes are inclined to be partial to a specific
quality dimension of their national brands made abroad. When considering
purchase of reputed brands of standard products, working class consumers
are particularly concerned about the item's country-of-origin (COO). On the
other hand, middle class consumers' apprehensions of multi-featured
products' COO run across both high and low equity brands. Research
limitations/implications - Common methods bias may have occurred in this
study as a result of respondents in the self-report survey wanting to avoid
cognitive dissonance, trying to correlate their responses with their answers
to previous questions. Practical implications - Consumers belonging to a
particular social segment in the brands' home country can be encouraged
to buy their national brands produced abroad on the promise that these
products will deliver their favoured quality features. Originality/value - The
research results are presented in the form of a consumer typology based on
the dimensions of perceived quality, and explain the effect of the
interaction of country's competence, brand equity and product purchase
involvement on middle class and working class consumers' evaluation and
purchase intention of brands outsourced for production abroad.

brands via the Internet. We found that: (a) consistency in the country of
origin (COO), self-congruity, and brand image had a positive impact on
purchase intention; (b) inconsistency between the country of brand and the
country of manufacture, and consistency in the country image increased the
influence of brand image on purchase intention when the brand image was
weak; (c) inconsistency in the country image decreased the influence of
brand image on purchase intention when the brand image was weak; and
(d) consistency in COO influenced purchase intention more strongly than
did self-congruity.

摘要: Despite growing evidence about differences in the attitudes and
behaviors of consumers in emerging and developed markets, there is little
research on the differences in country of origin (COO) effects on their
evaluation, behavioral intentions (BIs), and actual purchase of imported
products. This paper introduces a new conceptual framework incorporating
consumer ethnocentrism (CET), materialism (MAT), and value consciousness
(VC) to hypothesize several differences in the influence of COO effects on
consumers from developed and emerging markets. A web-based study with
1752 consumers in four countries representing two developed markets (the
UK and the USA) and two emerging markets (China and India) shows
significant differences in the moderating influence of CET, MAT, and VC on
the effects of COO on the evaluations and BIs for a fictitious passenger car
brand, and on the actual choice of car brands owned by them. The findings
highlight the importance of looking beyond CET at other relevant
psychographic variables to understand the differences in motivations
underlying consumer perceptions and behavior towards imported
products. Journal of International Business Studies (2011) 42, 285-306.

摘要: Purpose - Against the background of mounting criticism of the
country-of-origin (COO) construct, the purpose of this paper is to
empirically contrast two competing perspectives of the potential influence
of country-of origin image (COI) on purchase intentions.
Design/methodology/approach - Based on personal interviews with over
300 UK consumers, the paper investigates the relative impact of COI and
brand image as independent drivers ("orthogonality" perspective), and as
causally-linked drivers ("irradiation" perspective) on consumers' intentions
to buy specific US and Chinese brands.
Findings - Controlling for the effects of brand familiarity, the analysis shows
that COI impacts purchase intentions indirectly in that its influence is fully
mediated by brand image. These findings are consistent with an
"irradiation" perspective of COI effects and demonstrate that brand image
evaluations already encapsulate consumers' COI perceptions.
Research limitations/implications - Based on the country/brand
combinations investigated, the results show that the recent criticism against
the COO construct is largely unfounded and that the construct remains
relevant to international marketing theory and practice.
Practical implications - COO remains a relevant and powerful influence on
brand perceptions and, through them, on buying intentions and needs to
be carefully managed by companies.
Originality/value - The paper provides explicit empirical comparison of
alternative models depicting potential COO influence on behavioural
outcomes (brand image evaluations and purchase intentions) in distinct
country/brand combinations.

摘要: Purpose - The pupose of this paper is to investigate consumers'
behavior in emerging countries. In particular, it simultaneously assesses the
effects of country image and country-of-origin's image on consumers'
uncertainty, aspiration and purchasing intention of high-tech products.
Design/methodology/approach - Based on a sample of 479 Chinese
consumers, structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized
relationships. Findings - Results show that compared to country-of-origin,
country's image is a more effective tool in reducing consumers' uncertainty
and increasing their aspiration to purchase high technology products.
Contrary to country's image, however, country-of-origin's image plays a
considerable role in influencing the product image. Research
limitations/implications - The major role of a country-of-origin is to
influence product image while that of country's image is to increase
consumers' aspiration to acquire its product and diminish their uncertainty
and hesitation about buying the product. In other words, the image of a
product is much more prone to the effect of country-of-origin's image than
country's image. Practical implications - Marketers should understand that
consumers in emerging countries are ambivalent when they consider the
purchase of complex products. On the one hand, highlighting the country
image can contribute in alleviating consumers' uncertainty and increasing
their aspiration to purchase sophisticated and complex products. On the
other hand, promoting the country-of-origin's image can prove an effective
means to improve product image in emerging markets. Originality/value Most of the previous studies have focused on one of the two concepts (i.e.
country's image or country-of-origin), interchangeably used both of them,
and relatively ignored their simultaneous impact on consumer behavior.
The present study has tried to address this shortfall through simultaneously
studying their influences on product image and consumer purchase
intention; and highlighting their differential impacts.

摘要: Under globalizing trend, consumers have a lot of chances to purchase
foreign goods. Consumers are easily to search product information via
internet and make purchase decisions according to the information
collected. Some consumers would evaluate product quality according to
the country of origin. Past researches showed customers would take
country of origin of products as important criteria to make purchase
decisions. Generally speaking, consumers of developed countries would
have higher perceived risk on products of developing countries. Consumers
of developing countries would have less confidence on their own products.
Therefore, how to reduce the negative influences from inferior country of
origin is an important research issue. In this paper, we take digital still
camera (DSC) as our research object. We conducted experimental design by
manipulating country of origin (high vs. low) and endorser expertise (high
vs. low). Besides, we came out our hypothesis by source credibility and
elaboration likelihood model (ELM). We found that country-of-origin image
and endorser expertise had positive effects on product attitude and
purchase intention. Besides, respondents with lower product involvement
are more easily influenced by country of origin and endorser expertise.

trusting beliefs

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the moderating
effect of trusting beliefs about a store on country-of-origin (COO) effects.
The paper suggests that three trusting beliefs (ability beliefs, benevolence
beliefs and integrity beliefs) about a retail store moderate negative effects
of COO on product evaluation and purchase intention. However, under high
manufacturer risk conditions, only benevolence beliefs moderate the
negative COO effects.
Design/methodology/approach - The toy industry is chosen as the study
context. The first three hypotheses are tested with survey data collected
from 224 participants. The last hypothesis is tested with data collected from
338 participants. Hierarchical moderated regression was used in the testing
of the hypotheses.
Findings - The results show that while only benevolence and integrity
beliefs about a store weaken the negative effect of COO on product
evaluations, all three trusting beliefs lessen the negative impact of COO on
consumers' purchase intentions. However, when manufacturer risk is high,
only benevolence beliefs have a significant moderating effect.
Practical implications - The findings show that manufacturers can reverse
the negative cycle, or at least minimize their losses, if they choose those
retailers that consumers have high trusting beliefs about as their channel
members. Similarly, if they can signal that they are benevolent and honest
stores, retailers can balance their customers' negative evaluations of
products made in certain countries with negative image.
Research limitations/implications - Given the recent product recalls and
concerns, the toy industry presents an ideal case to study the effect of
trusting beliefs on COO effects. Nonetheless, the focus on a single industry
does limit the generalizability of the findings. The authors recommend that
future researchers examine these relationships in studies focusing on other
product categories.
Originality/value - To the best of authors' knowledge, this is the first study
that investigates the impact of individuals' trusting beliefs about a store on
COO effects.

摘要: Purpose - This study aims to examine the country-of-origin's impact
on consumer purchase behavior post-acquisition, especially when the
acquirer-dominant business is afflicted by a low country-of-origin image
and the acquired business enjoys a high country-of-origin image. This study
also aims to examine brand redeployment strategy impacts on consumer
purchase intentions. Design/methodology/approach - Data are collected
from an online questionnaire in Taiwan. A total of 325 usable questionnaires
are returned. Data analysis is conducted using regress analysis and ANOVA.
Findings - These results indicate that general country attributes and general
product attributes have a positive effect on purchase intentions. In addition,
general product attributes play a mediating role between general country
attributes and purchase intentions. These results further show that
target-dominant redeployment strategy is the most powerful to purchase
intentions. A company which wants to use M&A to increase market share
must seriously consider general country attributes, general product
attributes and brand redeployment strategy because these three constructs
affect purchase intentions, and consequently maintain consumer loyalty
and attract new customers. Originality/value - There were seldom studies
which investigated country-of-image effect and M&A from marketing
perspective. The major contributions of the study were investigating
consumers' perception of the effects on country-of-origin image and the
redeployment strategy on an acquired brand.

标题: Gains and Losses from the Misperception of Brand Origin: The Role of
Brand Strength and Country-of-Origin Image

摘要: Mounting empirical evidence shows that consumers often associate
brands with the wrong country of origin (COO) or are unable to classify a
brand to any COO. In this study, the authors investigate the consequences
of brand origin misclassification and nonclassification on consumers' brand
image evaluations and associated purchase intentions. Drawing from
categorization theory, the authors test hypotheses regarding the impact of
brand strength and COO image on misclassification gains and losses on a
sample of U.K. consumers. The results show that both misclassification and
nonclassification have mostly adverse consequences on both brand
evaluations and purchase intentions. The findings further show that strong
brands are not immune to misclassification and stress the importance of
ensuring that consumers are aware of a brand's true COO.

标题: The Moderation of Consumer Ethnocentrism in the Country-of-origin
Phenomenon

摘要: The current study seeks to understand the boundary condition for the
country-of-origin effect by examining the role of consumer ethnocentrism
in a context where no domestic alternative is available in a consumer
decision environment. There was a significant main effect of COO cues on
product quality perception but not on purchase intention. When consumer
ethnocentrism is considered as a potential moderator the strength of main
effect of COO cues on product quality perception is not affected. However,
purchase intention, which was not found to be statistically different
between a PDA made in Japan and Korea, was moderated by the level of
consumer ethnocentrism.In summary, few studies examined the effect of
consumer ethnocentrism in a comparison between two or more foreign
products where the available products in the consumers’ decision context
are all foreign made. Since the world economy has become increasingly
interdependent, however, consumers are often faced with a choice between
two or more foreign products while no domestic alternative is available.
Thus, this study provides valuable insights to the conditions under which
COO cues influence consumers’product evaluation and purchase intention
through the lens of consumer ethnocentrism.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to clarify the three-way
interaction among product-country image, product-origin congruency and
product involvement on consumers' product-related evaluations and
purchase intentions. Design/methodology/approach - Data were gathered
from 388 consumers in Australia across four different product classes. Data
analysis was conducted using hierarchical regression analysis with
three-way interactions and a novel post hoc slope analysis is introduced to
the marketing area. Findings - Overall, the study findings suggest that the
importance that consumers place on country-of-origin (COO) image when
they evaluate products is contingent on the product context. Specifically,
the study findings show that product-country image, product-origin
congruency and product involvement interact on product evaluations and
intentions such that product-origin congruency plays a differentiating role
for consumers in a low involvement situation, but a neutral role for
consumers in a high involvement situation. Therefore, when a company
deals with less-involved customers, the COO image and the congruency of
the product origins are particularly important issues. Conversely, when a
company deals with more product-involved customers, product-origin
congruency has no differential influence on their product evaluations and
behavioural intentions to purchase. Originality/value - An important
extension to past research in the area is to provide analyses of the joint
effects which may be different from their roles when investigated
separately. The present paper represents the first empirical investigation of
the three-way interaction of product-origin image, product-origin
congruency and product involvement on consumers' product-related
evaluations and behavioural intentions. Furthermore, the paper presents
the first application in marketing research of a novel method for analysing
three-way interaction slopes.

摘要: Purpose - Globalization and outsourcing have decoupled country of
origin into the country of origin of manufacture (COM) and the country of
origin of the brand (COB). This study seeks to extend the work of
Gurhan-Canli and Maheswaran and Lee et al. by investigating the
interactive influence of COB and personal involvement with a product on
purchase intention. Design/methodology/approach - A total of 168 young
adults in Hong Kong were intercepted for mall interviews and presented
with mock advertisements for personal computers ostensibly with brands
originating in Japan and Korea. Their personal involvement with such
products was measured using an instrument designed by Zaichkowsky, and
their purchase intentions were self-assessed. Findings - COB was found to
predict purchase intentions among consumers with a low level of personal
involvement with computers, but not among consumers with a high level of
personal involvement. Research limitations/implications - First, to improve
internal validity, the study involved a single product type and a sample
limited to 15-34 year olds. However, this improvement in internal validity
places limitations on generalisability. Second, a median split was used to
divide the subjects into low and high involvement groups. Third, only one
dependent variable, purchase intention, was studied. Practical implications For marketers whose product is branded in a country with a favorable
image, emphasizing the COB would be appropriate when communicating
with low involvement consumers. Marketers whose product is branded in a
country with a less favorable image ought to emphasize other peripheral
cues when communicating with low involvement consumers.
Originality/value - By finding that COB has a significant impact on the
purchase intentions of low involvement consumers, but not with those
more highly involved, this research constitutes a small but important
extension of the conclusions of Gurhan-Canli and Maheswaran and Lee et
al.

标题: Country of origin, ethnocentrism and bicultural consumers: the case of
Mexican Americans

摘要: Purpose - The paper's aim is to explore how bicultural consumers
differ from monocultural consumers, and among themselves, in terms of
country-of-origin effect and ethnocentrism.
Design/methodology/approach - A multidisciplinary literature review
pointed to a set of hypotheses regarding the differences between
biculturals (Mexican Americans) and monoculturals (Mexicans and
Americans), and between bicultural groups (integrating biculturals versus
alternating biculturals). Two pilot tests and two experiments were
conducted to test the hypotheses. Findings - Bicultural Mexican Americans
are less ethnocentric than either American or Mexican monoculturals;
exhibit more favorable quality evaluation and purchase intention toward
American brands than Mexican monoculturals; and exhibit more favorable
quality evaluation and purchase intention toward Mexican brands than
American monoculturals. Although ethnocentrism does not significantly
demarcate alternating biculturals from their integrating counterparts,
alternators are more likely than integrators to provide a favorable
evaluation of foreign brands and entertain the intention to purchase them.
Research limitations/implications - As a starting-point for understanding
the bicultural consumer, this study is subject to exploratory research
limitations. Originality/value - The country-of-origin literature implicitly
assumes that consumers identify with either the country where the product
is originated or the country where it is sold. This assumption, however,
might not hold for ethnic groups who identify with both countries. Such
bicultural consumers might identify with the product's origin country as
well as target country and, therefore, be less amenable to the
country-of-origin hypothesis. We address this important research gap.

标题: Consumer's Perceived Risk and Product Evaluations on Country Image
of Surrogate Buying Origin in Surrogate Internet Shopping Mall

摘要: Internet has grown fast and become one of the most important retail
channels now. Various types of Internet retailers, hereafter etailers, have
been introduced so far and as one type of Internet shopping mall,
'surrogate Internet shopping mall' has been prosperous and attracting
consumers in the domestic market. Surrogate Internet shopping mall is a
unique type of etailer that globally purchases well-known brand goods that
are not imported in the market, completes delivery in the favor of individual
buyers, and collects fees for these specific services. The consumers, who are
usually interested in purchasing high-end and unique but not eligible
brands, have difficulties to purchase these items overseas directly from the
retailers or brands in other countries due to worries of payment failure and
no address available for their usually domestic only delivery. In Korea, both
numbers of surrogate Internet shopping malls and the magnitude of sales
have been growing rapidly up to more than 430 active malls and 500 billion
Korean won in 2008 since the population of consumers who want this agent
shopping service is also expending.This etail business concept is originated
from ‘surrogate-mediated purchase’ and this type of shopping agent has
existed in many different forms and also in wide ranges of context level for
quite a long time. As marketers face their individual buyers’
representatives instead of a direct contact with them in many occasions, the
impact of surrogate shoppers on consumer’s decision making has been
enormously important and many scholars have explored various range of
agent’s impact on consumer’s purchase decisions in marketing and
psychology field. However, not much rigorous research in the Internet
commerce has been conveyed yet.Moreover, since as one of the shopping
agent surrogate Internet shopping malls specifically connect overseas
brands or retailers to domestic consumers, one specific character of the
mall’s, image of surrogate buying country, where surrogate purchases are
conducted in, may play an important role to form consumers' attitude and
purchase intention toward products. Furthermore it also possibly affects
various dimensions of perceived risk in consumer's information processing.
However, though tremendous researches have been carried exploring the
effects of diverse dimensions of country of origin, related studies in Internet
context has been rarely executed. There have been some studies that prove
the positive impact of country of origin on consumer’s evaluations as one
of information clues in product manufacture descriptions, yet studies
detecting the relationship between country image of surrogate buying
origin and product evaluations rarely undertaken regarding this specific
mall type.Thus, the authors have found it well-worth investigating in this
specific retail channel and explored systematic relationships among focal
constructs and elaborated their different paths. The authors have proven
that country image of surrogate buying origin in the mall, where surrogate
malls purchase products in and brings them from for buyers, not only has a
positive effect on consumers' product evaluations including attitude and
purchase intention but also has a negative effect on all three dimensions of
perceived risk: product-related risk, shipping-related risk, and
post-purchase risk. Specifically among all the perceived risk,
product-related risk which is arisen from high uncertainty of product
performance is most affected (β= -.30) by negative country image of
surrogate buying origin, and also shipping-related risk (β= -.18) and
post-purchase risk (β= -.15) get influenced in order. Its direct effects on
product attitude (β= .10) and purchase intention (β= .14) are also secured.
Each of perceived risk dimension is proven to have a negative effect on
purchase intention through product attitude as a mediator (β= -.57:
product-related risk product attitude; β= -.24: shipping-related risk
product attitude; β= -.44: post-purchase risk product attitude) as well.From
the additional analysis, the paths of consumers’information processing are
shown to be different based on their levels of product knowledge. While
novice consumers with low level of knowledge consider only perceived risk
important, expert consumers with high level of knowledge take both the
country image, where surrogate services are conducted in, and perceived
risk seriously to build their attitudes and formulate decisions toward
products more delicately and systematically, which is in line with previous
studies.This study suggests several pieces of academic and practical advice.
Precisely, country image of surrogate buying origin does affect on
consumer’s risk perceptions and behavioral consequences. Therefore a
careful selection of surrogate buying origin is recommended. Furthermore,
reducing consumers' risk level is required to blossom this new type of retail
business whether its consumer are novices or experts. Additionally, since
consumer take different paths of elaborating information based on their
knowledge levels, sophisticated marketing approaches to each group of
consumers are required. For novice buyers strong devices for risk mitigation
are needed to induce them to form better attitudes and for experts
selections of better and advanced countries as surrogate buying origins are
advised while endorsement strategy for the site might work as a reliable
information clue to all consumers to mitigate the barriers to purchase
goods online.The authors have also explained that the study suffers from
some limitations, including generalizability. In future studies, tests of and
comparisons among different types of etailers with relevant constructs are
recommended to broaden the findings.

摘要: The growth of international trade and the formation of supranational
economic and political trading blocks have noticeably widened the
presence on the market of products of different national origins. This has
stimulated interest in explaining the Country-of-Origin (COO) role in
domestic and international markets and its consequences on consumer
behaviour. Since the consumer purchasing decisions can be decisive to the
success of a company’s strategy in domestic and foreign markets, the
objective of this study is to present empirical evidence on the extent to
which reputation of firms associated to a certain COO are related to
consumer purchase intention. Additionally our study considers
ethnocentrism as a variable that partially explains the rejection of imports
products based on its foreign origin. The empirical application of the
proposed model is related to the purchase of Korean automobiles which
represents 5.7% of the national market share in Spain. Structural equation
modelling was used to analyse the data collected from 202 personal
interviews carried out in a large Spanish region. The results show that
reputation of firms associated to a certain COO in an important factor to
establish business relationships involving consumers and firms from
different countries and increase intentions to purchase Korean products.
Additionally, ethnocentric consumers prefer to purchase domestic products
rather than foreign imports as an attempt to protect national economy
however the negative effect of ethnocentrism is weaker than positive effect
of firms reputation of a COO.

标题: The impact of consumer ethnocentrism and country of origin
sub-components for high involvement products on young Chinese
consumers' product assessments
来源出版物: Asia Pacific Journal of Marketing and Logistics

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of country
of origin (COO) sub-components (i.e. design, assembly and parts), as well as
the extent to which consumer ethnocentrism tendencies interact with these
COO sub-components for young Chinese consumers with regards to
product quality assessments and purchase intentions.
Design/methodology/approach - A 2times2times2 factorial experimental
design was used to examine the effects of the three sub-components of
COO with two levels of sourcing location - Home (China) and Foreign
(Germany), for two high involvement products (an automobile and a digital
camera). Chinese students in China represented the sample of 272
respondents. MANOVA was used to examine the direct effects and
interactions of the three COO components, as well as ethnocentrism,
measured using the CETSCALE. Findings - It was found that the three COO
sub-components did not influence young Chinese consumers' evaluation of
product quality or purchase intentions. In addition, consumers' level of
ethnocentrism also did not have a direct effect on perceived product quality
or purchase intentions. There was only one statistically significant
interaction effect between ethnocentrism and country of parts for one of
the two products. As such, COO dimensions and young Chinese consumers'
ethnocentrism appears to have limited influence on their assessments of
product quality or purchase intentions. This may occur because young
Chinese consumers perceive that hybrid products are the norm for high
involvement products in China as these products are all these consumers
have experienced. Originality/value - The findings of this research dispute
the commonly held belief and evidence that sub-components of COO have
an impact on the perceptions of product quality and purchase intentions.
Young Chinese consumers may be different to consumers from western
countries because they have been extensively exposed to hybrid products.
Given the size and growth potential of China, young Chinese are an
important, under-researched segment within the Chinese market.

摘要: Previous studies mostly involved consumers from the more developed
countries to discuss the concept of country of origin and ethnocentrism.
This paper examines the consequences of country of origin and
ethnocentrism in developing and underdeveloped countries. This
survey-based study, with 173 respondents from Taiwan and 140 from
Cambodia, uses electronic products as stimulus. The results indicate that
both Taiwanese and Cambodian respondents perceive Japanese brands
electronic products as the most favourable and have high attitudes and
intention to purchase. Taiwanese, Thailand, and Chinese electronic products
are perceived as second, third, and fourth, respectively. Moreover, the
results exhibit that consumers may disregard the concept of ethnocentrism
and use brand image as the major consideration in purchasing
decision-making.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper aims to investigate the
relationship between brand personality, country-of-origin (COO) image and
purchase intention. Specifically, it is suggested that COO image exerts both
main and interaction impact on purchase intention.
Design/methodology/approach - A cross-city survey of China's auto
industry for the Sino-German Joint Venture's auto brand of Bora was
conducted to test hypotheses, predicted on a sample of 1,200 respondents.
Another sample for Japan and the Sino-Japanese joint Venture's Honda
auto brand was used for validation.
Findings - Results reveal that both brand personality and COO image exert
significant positive main effects on purchase intention. Furthermore, COO
image is found to be a positive moderator in the relationship between
brand personality and purchase intention. Specifically, a positive COO
image could enhance brand personality's positive impact on purchase
intention, whereas a negative COO image could significantly decrease the
positive brand personality effect on purchase intention. Companies with
both weak brand personality and a negative COO image achieve a higher
purchase intention than those with weak brand personality, yet a positive
COO image.
Originality/value - This study provides new theoretical insights into factors
influencing consumers' purchase decision making by incorporating COO
image as a moderator in the relationship between brand personality and
purchase intention. It also offers joint ventures useful advice on whether to
emphasize brand origin. If a company is weak in both brand personality and
COO image, it is better not to emphasize brand origin.

摘要: The primary goal is to provide further clarifications on the complex
issue of country-of-origin image cognitive processing and structure. Data
were collected from college students of South Korea, to whom applied a
Chinese laptop computer. A total of 249 usable questionnaires were
returned. For the test of the hypotheses the LISREL Ver. 8.12 software was
used.It is verified that a positive and significant influence of product
evaluation on purchase intention, but it does not appear any significant
influence of product beliefs on purchase intention. Regarding the consumer
knowledge effects on products, those with whom the knowledge is low, the
country-of-origin image has more of an impact on product beliefs rather
than product evaluation. However, those with whom the knowledge is high,
the product evaluation are more influenced by country-of-origin image.
Consumers' ethnocentrism, as far as the results concerned, are not
significant influential factor to product evaluation and buy intention;
however, the consumers' subjective norms are very significant positive
influential factor to buy intention. Rather than a large sample of actual
consumers, in this study, adopting the students sample may be pointed out
as a limitation. Future research will be needed to take an extensive general
sample of consumers for more specific study of country-of-origin image.

摘要: Today's business market is a competitive ground for local and foreign
brands. Everyday new ideas flow in the market. New entrants are so
frequent that the existing products cannot ignore them. This fact initiates
the existing players to go for strategies to retain them in the market and
enjoy the increasing revenues. There are many factors that count for the
product success. It ranges broadly from product idea to the availability of
products in the market. It is up to the corporation that how it places itself by
exploiting the opportunities in the market. The study is conducted in
Pakistan. It focuses on two issues. First, how attitudes towards brand name
and level of purchase intention of the consumer vary from brand to brand.
Secondly, is country of origin has any impact on the attitudes for a brand
and purchase intention for the same brand. Extant literature addressing
each of these factors is reviewed first, followed by the theoretical
framework leading up to the development of hypotheses. The
methodology designed to test the hypotheses is then described. Empirical
tests are reported in the results section. The study concludes with
theoretical and managerial implications, as well as limitations and
suggestions for further research.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate how need for
cognition (NFC), a personality trait, influenced the way consumers used
information about product components in forming overall evaluations of
motor vehicles. Design/methodology/approach - The study used interviews
from a convenience sample of 445 visitors to a motor vehicle show over a
three-day period using a choice-based conjoint analysis study design.
Findings - The NFC scale used in this study focused on abstract thinking.
Results showed that consumers' responses to components from different
countries changed their overall purchase intentions, and nationalism
appeared to play a strong role in consumer attitudes to components.
Consumers exhibiting high levels of NFC were more engaged in more
complex assessment of the country of origin (COO) cue in their product
evaluation than those who have less NFC. Practical implications Manufacturers sourcing components from low labour cost countries need
to be cautious. Even trusted brands may be sullied by components sourced
from countries with negative stereotypes. Originality/value - Research on
product component systems and the use of choice-based conjoint analysis
in this context are novel contributions to COO research.

摘要: Purpose - This paper seeks to examine the concept of "consumer
ethnocentrism" (CE) and its impact on product evaluation and preferences
among Indonesian consumers. Design/methodology/approach - The
survey involved interviewing a representative sample of Indonesian
consumers who had previously purchased the products in question, namely
colour television and who had travelled by international airlines. A total of
547 usable questionnaires were completed in face-to-face interviews in
Indonesia. Conjoint analysis was employed to study the relative importance
and part-worth estimates of country-of-origin (COO) effects across high
and low CE groups. Findings - Results of a sample survey of Indonesian
consumers are discussed. They show, firstly, that the overall level of CE of
Indonesian consumers, compared with published results for a range of
countries, is notably high. Secondly, results of conjoint analysis showing the
relationship between CE and consumer evaluations of "COO", product
quality perceptions, and purchase intentions, for both tangible goods and
intangible services, are discussed. Research limitations/implications - The
actual sample was heavily biased to upper socio-economic groups because
of its focus on international airlines as one of the subject products. This will
inevitably distort the average Consumer ethnocentric tendency scale score,
but was felt to be unavoidable. Originality/value - In the past, research on
country-of-origin effects has been carried out mostly in more developed
countries considering products made in less developed countries (LDC's). In
the present research, attention has been given to understand the effects of
consumer CE on perceptions of product quality, price, perceived value, and
product choice from the point of view of consumers from LDC's. In addition,
the study of COO effects in relation to intangible services is noteworthy.

摘要: This study analyses how consumer perceptions on the quality of
products are influenced by the marketing appeals of multinational firms
and by the country-of-origin effects. It presents findings derived from the
results of country-of-origin effect, corporate image, its brand image and
purchase intention survey conducted in Almaty, Kazakhstan, one of the CIS
countries that are considered as developing countries and transition
economies. The findings suggest that while attitudes of consumers towards
country-of-origin and corporate image exert a great deal of influence on

摘要: This study examines country of origin (CO) and brand effects on
consumers' quality perceptions, attitudes, and purchase intentions with
respect to a service-industry product: international cruise-line packages in
Singapore. Star Cruise (Malaysia) and Royal Caribbean Lines (USA) were
selected as the brands and countries for the study. Respondents provided
quality, attitude and purchase intention ratings. Contrary to prior evidence,
CO does appear to be an important informational cue for consumers of
services; CO effects were found to be stronger than brand effects for quality
and attitude ratings, while brand was more significantly correlated with
purchase intentions. A positive CO image compensated for a weak brand,
suggesting that, where applicable, marketing efforts should emphasize an
association with a positive CO perception. Conversely, a strong brand was
not found to compensate for a negative CO perception; in this case, it
would be appropriate to change the associated CO to one with a more
positive image, as at Least one major cruise fine has already done.

摘要: Whereas most recent COO research has focused on multiple-cue
designs to overcome weaknesses associated with single-cue models by
incorporating both extrinsic and intrinsic cues other than the COO cue in
evaluating consumer responses, few studies have attempted to address the
issue of whether a foreign celebrity or a foreign brand name may enhance
or diminish the COO effects on consumer attitude, product quality
perceptions and purchase intention in another country.

摘要: Literature on transnational families has established that both digital
media and visits are important to maintaining relationships across distance.
While studies foreground family ties and adult perspectives, few have
focused on how young people create and experience affective
engagements with the country of origin. This is largely because youth
mobility has either been ignored or studied retrospectively from the
country of residence. This study investigates youth mobility as it unfolds
and explores what transpires during country-of-origin visits. Drawing on 18
months of ethnographic fieldwork in Belgium and Ghana with 25 young
people of Ghanaian background, I argue that young people experience an
extraordinary everydayness during visits to Ghana. Young people build
affective connections with people and places through digital media before,
during and after visits. The resulting everydayness is extraordinary as it
takes place in an unfamiliar space with peers previously only known in the
online sphere.

摘要: In this article, we explore the return visits of resettled young people
from refugee backgrounds to their personal and/or ancestral countries of
origin. We draw on qualitative data from a longitudinal study of people who
fled their country of origin at an early age, many of whom were born or
lived for protracted periods in countries of asylum, and resettled in
Australia. We demonstrate that return visits are not simply a homecoming;
the young people's narratives reflect ambivalent relationships to the
homeland experienced across multiple domains of belonging. Accounts of
return visits refer to three core domains of belonging - practical national
belonging, family connection, and attachment to material places. We argue
that a return visit gives these youths a valued opportunity to negotiate and
develop their homeland connections, though not necessarily an
unambiguous opportunity to belong.

摘要: Objectives: The study examines the relationship between country of
birth, socioeconomic position, and the risk of being injured as a young car
driver.
Methods: The study consists of a nationwide follow-up of young people in
Sweden in which individual census records on country of birth and
household socioeconomic position were linked to the Hospital Discharge
Register so as to identify subjects' road traffic injuries (RTIs) as car drivers.
Multivariate analyses were conducted using Cox regression, with hospital
admission due to RTI as car driver as the dependent variable.
Results: There are no significant differences in injury risks between
foreign-born and Swedish-born drivers, but clear socioeconomic
differences were found. Young drivers from manual worker families have
80% higher risk for RTIs compared to drivers in families with salaried
employee parents (RR 1.83, CI 1.63-2.05).
Conclusions: The results do not support the idea that type of country of
origin constitutes a significant marker of risk level for RTI as novice car
driver. On the other hand, the results reconfirm that, in Sweden, the risk of
RTI among young drivers from different socioeconomic backgrounds varies.

摘要: People of Chinese origin are a growing population group in western
countries. The community is seen to be marginalised, under-researched and
neglected, in fact the least understood ethnic minority. This paper reports
on a systematic review of sexual attitudes and behaviour among ethnic
Chinese young people (mainly aged 13-25 years) living in western
countries. An extensive literature search was conducted to cover the period
of 1989 and 2009 using Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO and ScienceDirect
databases. There has been a dearth of literature in this area. However,
results from existing literature show that ethnic Chinese youth reported
poorer sexual health knowledge than white young people in their host
countries, while they were found to be more likely to disapprove of
uncommitted sex, be virgins, lose their virginity at a later age and have
fewer sexual partners. Factors associated with their sexual attitudes and
behaviour have also been identified. Countries like the United Kingdom,
United States and Canada have become multicultural societies with many
diverse ethnic groups. Without doubt educators and sexual health
professionals need to provide sex education and services which should be
culturally appropriate to people from diverse ethnic backgrounds. An
understanding of their sexual values, sexual behaviour and associated
factors is the first step towards achieving this goal.

摘要: Migrant-background youth travel often to their or their parents'
country of origin, yet little is known about how such trips affect their
personal growth. These trips have either been ignored or analysed through
concepts of belonging or identity. By contrast, studies on international
education and travel and tourism, which commonly focus on youth without
migration background, highlight positive personal impacts of experiences
abroad. This paper applies a personal growth lens to analyse how visits to
the origin country impact Ghanaian-background youth living in Belgium.
Drawing on 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Belgium and Ghana
with 25 young people, we show how such trips stimulate self-confidence
and aspirations. Self-confidence is strengthened through favourable
treatment and access to luxurious spaces that make youth feel special.
Young people develop educational and career aspirations after comparing
opportunity structures they face in Belgium with their experiences in Ghana
and engaging with Ghanaian role models.

摘要: With extensive globalization, the effect of country-of-origin (COO)
stereotypes has been continuously questioned by many scholars; a key
dispute is whether younger generations still hold COO stereotypes. Some
scholars have proved downward trends in developed countries, but there is
little evidence in developing countries, such as China. This research employs
three studies to investigate through both implicit and explicit measurement
whether Chinese born in the 1980s and those born in the 1990s differ in
their attitudes toward domestic and imported products in terms of function
and image. The results show that the Chinese of the 1980s generation still
hold strong COO stereotypes that imported products are better than
domestic products for either a general product level or a specific product
category. The 1990s generation does not follow suit. This result is explained
by the life course theory, which highlights that family communication
patterns can influence people's COO stereotypes. It is highly recommended
that marketers consider the different attitudes of China's 1980s generation
and 1990s generation toward imported and domestic products to better
communicate the imported or Chinese imprint of the products.

摘要: This paper explores how physical mobility shapes migrant youth's
changing relationships to their or their parents' country of origin. Increasing
numbers of youth in the Global North have a migration background and are
transnationally engaged in virtual, imaginative and material mobilities. Yet
our knowledge of their physical mobility is lacking, having largely been
based on retrospective accounts from the country of residence, resulting in
depictions of static relationships to a monolithic country of origin. This
study takes a processual approach, focusing on mobility trajectories and
exploring the sensorial, embodied and emotional aspects of physical
mobility as it unfolds. Drawing on 14 months of mobile ethnographic
fieldwork with 20 Ghanaian-background young people (aged 15-25) living
in Hamburg, Germany, we focus on visits to Ghana to explore how physical
mobility changes relationships to the country of origin over time (across
several visits) and space (between different places within one visit). We use
Urry's typology of proximity to analyse the specific and changing
constellations of people, places and moments that constitute visits and thus
shape these relationships. We also reflect on the methodological
implications of using three mobile methods: mobility trajectory mapping,
following mobility in real-time, and before-and-after interviewing.

摘要: In the present research, we examined the use and its influence of
social networking applications on the process of young immigrants'
acclimatisation in Israel, given the widespread use of such applications by
children, adolescents, and young people to maintain contact with those
who remained in their country of origin. This is a mixed-method study. A
total of 551 participants from Israel completed questionnaires, of whom
110 were also interviewed. Interviewees were asked to clarify the
quantitative findings to help gain in-depth understanding of the factors
affecting acclimatisation. The semi-structured interviews covered all the
topics included in the research questionnaires. The interviewees wanted to
share positive and negative experiences they lived through, and some
provided detailed descriptions. The study found that participants feel that
communication alleviates the sense of longing, enables intimate discourse,
sentiment sharing, release of anger, and relief of frustration. The use of web
applications encourages significant interactions with those who remained in
the country of origin, but to a certain extent causes social isolation in the
new country.

标题: Is brand globalness compatible with brand country-of-origin? An

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate hybrid brand
positioning strategies for emerging market brands based on two
positioning elements: brand country-of-origin (COO) and brand globalness.
Design/methodology/approach Researchers conducted two studies. In
Study 1, a survey of 128 brand managers of emerging market brands were
used to examine whether asymmetric positioning strategies improve brand
preference more than symmetric strategies, and if so, which type of
asymmetric strategies improves brand preference more. In Study 2, a
consumer experiment in the USA was conducted to identify the positioning
strategy for emerging market brands that improve brand preference the
most. Findings For emerging market brands, at any given value of COO or
global elements, asymmetric strategies outperform symmetric strategies in
terms of brand preference. On average, the best hybrid positioning strategy
is the one that highlights brand COO and de-emphasizes brand globalness.
Originality/value A large body of branding literature examines COO and
globalness separately without considering their co-presence in the same
brand positioning strategy. Few studies that examine the joint influence of
brand COO and globalness focus on established brands from developed
markets and do not examine whether highlighting both brand COO and
global elements equally is an effective positioning strategy for emerging
market brands. This study introduces a framework to systematically
examine the various combinations of COO and global elements in a brand's
positioning strategies for emerging market brands. By conducting two
studies, the authors empirically test the influence of various combinations
of COO and global elements on brand preference for emerging market
brands from both firm and consumer perspectives.

摘要: Background Although little is known about why opioid prescribing
practices differ between physicians, clinical competence, specialty training
and country of origin may play a role. We hypothesised that physicians with
stronger clinical competence and communication skills are less likely to
prescribe opioids and prescribe lower doses, as do medical specialists and
physicians from Asia. Methods Opioid prescribing practices were examined
among international medical graduates (IMGs) licensed to practise in the
USA who evaluated Medicare patients for chronic pain problems in
2014-2015. Clinical competence was assessed by the Educational
Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) Clinical Skills
Assessment. Physicians in the ECFMG database were linked to the American
Medical Association Masterfile. Patients evaluated for chronic pain were
obtained by linkage to Medicare outpatient and prescription files. Opioid
prescribing was measured within 90 days of evaluation visits. Prescribed
dose was measured using morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs).
Generalised estimating equation logistic and linear regression estimated
the association of clinical competence, specialty, and country of origin with
opioid prescribing and dose. Results 7373 IMGs evaluated 65 012 patients
for chronic pain; 15.2% received an opioid prescription. Increased clinical
competence was associated with reduced opioid prescribing, but only
among female physicians. For every 10% increase in the clinical competence
score, the odds of prescribing an opioid decreased by 16% for female
physicians (OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.75 to 0.94) but not male physicians (OR 0.99,
95% CI 0.92 to 1.07). Country of origin was associated with prescribed
opioid dose; US and Canadian citizens prescribed higher doses (adjusted
MME difference +3.56). Primary care physicians were more likely to
prescribe opioids, but surgical and hospital-based specialists prescribed
higher doses. Conclusions Clinical competence at entry into US graduate
training, physician gender, specialty and country of origin play a role in
opioid prescribing practices.

摘要: Shrimp are a globally traded aquaculture commodity that accounts for
a large proportion of the monetary value of aquaculture. There are concerns
among consumers about seafood labeling fraud and environmental
sustainability. Therefore, the geographic origin of shrimp from retail stores
was investigated with trace element profiling. 94 shrimp samples were
collected from grocery stores across the USA, UK, and EU in 70 different
grocery stores. The results of 24 elements are reported. Shrimp samples
were from Thailand, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Ecuador were shown to
have 15 elements that were statistically different across labeled country of
origin, with Ecuador having unique post hoc group membership in 5 of the
elements. Based on a classification procedure, shrimp were classified to
labeled country of origin with an overall accuracy of 71.2%. Overall, the
results suggest that elemental profiling could be a traceability tool for
classifying samples of shrimp from retail stores.

摘要: Although a growing literature has investigated how animosity and
consumer ethnocentrism change customers' perceptions of foreign
products in developed markets, research examining these effects in
developing markets is scarce. Additionally, the role of country of origin on
such effects has received far less attention. The current paper is developed
to bridge these gaps. The primary objectives of this paper are to examine
whether the animosity and consumer ethnocentrism models that work in
the Western world could be applied into a developing market like Vietnam,
and whether these relationships are moderated by country of origin (USA
versus China). Data from 485 Vietnamese customers illustrate that most of
the main effects are significant except for the relationship between
ethnocentrism and product judgement, and the relationship between
cosmopolitanism and willingness to buy. Furthermore, out of the three
moderation effects, the influence of country of origin on the relationship
between ethnocentrism and willingness to buy is significant. The paper
concludes with theoretical and managerial implications, limitations, and
future research.

摘要: Motivation: The online gig economy, where labour is provided via
specialized digital platforms, is an important element of the platform
economy. This market is developing on a global scale. The structure of
supply in the online gig economy and the reasons for the domination of gig
workers from specific countries are still the areas remaining relatively
under-researched.
Aim: The article aims to examine the supply side of the online gig economy
based on the country of origin of gig workers, as well as to explain the
reasons why gig workers from specific countries have dominated the sector.
Results: The analysis of the data from the Oxford Internet Institute proved
that the supply of online labour services in the global market is dominated
by three Asian countries India, Pakistan, Bangladesh - as well as the USA
and the United Kingdom. The preliminary investigation into the
determinants of the supply of labour services indicates that the countries
under research have developed favorable institutional conditions, such as
the universal knowledge of the English language, the right proportion of
Internet users to the population size, the large informal sector, and
considerable labour freedom.

摘要: The characteristics of wheat malt, wort, and beer from two Korean
wheat varieties (Keumkang and Anzunbaengi; KM and AM, respectively)
were compared to those of two commercial wheat malt controls from the
USA and Germany (UM and GM), to examine the feasibility of Korean wheat
for brewing. The quality parameters of four wheat malts, chemical
properties of wort using them, volatile compounds, sensory attributes, and
consumer acceptability of four final beers (KB, AB, UB, and GB) were
analysed. Additionally, the relationship of each parameter was determined
through multiple factor analysis. Korean wheat malts were different from
control malts in free amino nitrogen (FAN), soluble and total nitrogen, and
Kolbach index. The extract (81.8-83.2%) and diastatic power (407-477 WK
degrees) of all samples were in the brewing field's recommended range.
The FAN and yeast cell population of the wort samples were similar during
fermentation except on the initial day, which showed a high FAN and yeast
cell population for KM wort. Eleven volatile compounds with variable
importance in projection scores above 1.0 were responsible for
discrimination of the beer samples by partial least squares discriminant
analysis. The four beer samples' overall acceptance scores were not
significantly different. However, their acceptance trends were different
depending on consumer preference segments by agglomerative
hierarchical clustering analysis, implying the need for product development
depending on the target consumer. Regarding sensory attributes, KB had a
less fruity flavour than the other beer samples (p<0.05) and sweetness of AB
tended to be higher than the others. An association plot based on multiple
factor analysis of the wheat beer samples, volatile compounds, sensory
properties, and overall acceptance showed that sweetness, alcohol aroma,
and fruity flavour were closely associated with AB and overall acceptance,
while 2,3-butanediol and turbidity were placed opposite side of there.

摘要: Vaccine hesitancy is a global health threat which may hinder the
widespread acceptance of several COVID-19 vaccines. Following the
collection of 2470 responses from an anonymous questionnaire distributed
between October and November 2020 across Israel, we analyzed the
responses of physicians, life science graduates (biology, virology, chemistry,
etc.), and the general public to whether they would obtain a COVID-19
vaccine with particular vaccine characteristics such as vaccine country of
origin, technology, side effect profile, efficacy, and other attributes.
Physicians and life science graduates were least likely to accept a vaccine
based on mRNA technology (30%) while the general population seemed to
adopt any vaccine technology if the declared efficacy is above 90% and the
country of manufacturing is the USA/UK rather than China or Russia.
However, current inoculation rates in Israel far outpace our predicted rate.
Our results highlight the importance of tailored vaccine educational
campaigns based on population demographic details and specific vaccine
concerns.

glaze. A total of 111 frozen prepackaged fish fillets were purchased from
grocery stores in Southern California (USA). Samples were designated as
COOL compliant if they displayed both procurement method and country
of origin in accordance with COOL requirements. Species labeling was
examined by comparing the species identified with DNA barcoding to the
acceptable market names provided in the FDA Seafood List. Net weights
and percent glaze were determined by recording the weight of each
product before and after deglazing. Of the 111 samples, only 1 was
noncompliant with COOL and 10 samples (9%) were short-weighted. The
average percent glaze was 5%, with seven samples having >10% glaze.
Most fish (95.5%) were correctly labeled with regards to species. Species
substitution was discovered in two samples and three samples had
unacceptable market names. The results of this study indicate high COOL
compliance and minimal species mislabeling in prepackaged frozen fish
fillets. However, there is a need for increased focus on short weighting
and/or overglazing of frozen fish products.

摘要: Objective This study aimed to compare the perinatal outcomes among
U.S.-born and foreign-born Hispanics and Caucasians and ascertain if
length of time in the US was associated with the rate of adverse outcomes.
Study Design Retrospective cohort analysis of gravidae enrolled in our
institutional perinatal database. Women delivering a non-anomalous,
singleton, at 24 weeks or more and self-identified as Caucasian or Hispanic
were included. Women were stratified by country of birth and ethnicity into
U.S.-born Caucasian, U.S.-born Hispanic, and U.S. foreign-born Hispanic.
Composite maternal (CMM) and neonatal (CNM) morbidity was assessed.
Results Of 20,422 women, 21% were Caucasian, 15% were U.S.-born
Hispanics, and 64% were U.S. foreign-born Hispanics. Compared to
Caucasians, U.S.-born and foreign-born Hispanic were older, more likely to
be a grand multiparous, obese and less likely to be married. Compared to
Caucasians, foreign-born Hispanics had a 1.42-fold increased risk of CMM
(95% CI 1.26-1.30). Paradoxically, the rate of CNM was 40% lower among
neonates born to foreign-born Hispanics (95% CI 0.51-0.74). A significant
direct relationship was noted between time in the USA and CMM but not
CNM among foreign-born Hispanics.
Conclusion Despite less favorable baseline characteristics, U.S. foreign-born
Hispanics have 40% less CNM compared to both Caucasians and U.S.-born
Hispanics.

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this research is to identify the impacts of the
country of origin of a franchise chain on its commitment in the destination
countries, verifying the institutional particularities between the chains from
emerging and developed countries. Design/methodology/approach The
research is descriptive and quantitative and involved 724 franchise chains
from 10 countries of origin (Brazil, Russia, India, South Africa, Argentina,
USA, Germany, Australia, Spain and Portugal), spread over 174 destination
countries, totaling 3,513 cases. Findings The results indicate that
institutional preferences do not vary according to the country of origin of
the franchise chain but rather vary according to the destination country.
Research limitations/implications This paper contributes to institutional
theory by identifying a set of characteristics that explains the selection of
international markets and the commitment of franchise chains. Practical
implications The results obtained in the study can help managers of
franchise chains to make decisions related to the selection of destination
countries for international expansion based on the institutional
characteristics of the markets and their compatibility with the objectives of
the franchise chains. Originality/value Companies in emerging countries
internationalize according to different management logics from those of
companies from developed countries. Thus, it is possible that the process of
selecting countries for internationalization is also based on different criteria
that reflect different institutional preferences. The thesis defended in the
paper is that market potential is more important to franchisees from
emerging markets, whereas contract enforcement is more important to
franchisees from developed markets.

consumers' institutional perceptions and purchase decision-making

摘要: Purpose Industry-wide crises involving consumer products place
consumers at risk. Consumers rely on institutions that constrain corporate
practice and control product quality to reduce risk. As institutions vary by
country, country-of-origin (COO) acts as a salient cue for consumers to
identify institutional quality and thus evaluate risk when making purchase
decisions. However, in the era of globalisation, identification of institutional
quality becomes complex as global value chains involve different countries
such as brand origin (BO) and country-of-manufacture (COM). Therefore,
this research investigates how BO and COM individually and jointly affect
consumers' institutional perceptions and subsequent purchase
decision-making in the presence of systemic risk.
Design/methodology/approach This research includes three studies (n =
764) employing surveys and choice modelling experiments with samples
from China and the USA. Findings The results show that BO and COM relate
to different institutional perceptions. BO evokes perceptions of legitimacy
and the regulatory environment, while COM evokes perceptions of the
normative and the regulatory environment. The combination of BO and
COM determines how institutional quality is communicated and further
affects consumers' legitimacy perceptions, preferences and willingness to
pay a price premium. Originality/value This research contributes to
understanding the effect of BO and COM in the context of complex value
chains from an institutional perspective. It also provides implications for
leveraging complex COO cues with BO and COM information to improve
consumers' institutional perceptions.

摘要: This study analyzes the structure of preferences of olive oil importers
in three countries (USA, Germany and Mexico, three non-producer
countries with very different cultural characteristics) to evaluate the country
of origin effect in their purchasing decisions. Using the conjoint analysis
technique, the data collected through a survey sent to the list of importers
in the "Alimentos de Extremadura-Food from Spain" project, a total of 31
companies, is analyzed. From the study of the origin, packaging, production
system and price attributes, the overall results show that origin is the
attribute most valued by the importers, very closely followed by price. The
analysis carried out shows that the country of origin effect is not universal.
Exporters of olive oil need more than one marketing-mix strategy and they
may also be very useful for both business managers and for those
responsible in the public administrations for managing trade policies.

摘要: The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of a brand's
country-of-origin for a hotel on its geographic markets. The globalization of
tourist markets has recently increased the importance of foreign demand
for most European destinations, and the role of brands in attracting foreign
demand is growing as a consequence. The brand is one of the key assets of
multinational companies in tourism. Among the several determinants of
consumer brand knowledge in the global competitive arena,
country-of-origin (COO) effects remain among the most researched.
Through an exploratory study, based on a survey of 95 branded hotels
located in Italy belonging to 16 brands having USA, Spain, France and UAE
as COO, we investigated the relationship between the hotel brand's COO
and the top 5 geographic markets for the hotel. Our exploratory study
demonstrates that in over 95% of cases the brand's COO market is one of
the top 5 feeding markets for a hotel, thus indicating that, for a hotelier,
choosing a certain hotel brand as franchisor or management company will
significantly determine the geographic provenience of its hotel's guests.

摘要: Mexico and Canada successfully challenged the U.S. mandatory
country of origin labeling (COOL) requirements for beef and pork as
inconsistent with World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, which ultimately
led to arbitration over the level of trade lost due to the COOL measure.
During this phase of the dispute, Mexico, Canada, and the United States
provided the Arbitration Panel with estimates of the trade losses caused by
COOL that were produced using different quantitative methods. The U.S.
estimates were based on an equilibrium displacement model (EDM). This
article presents a version of the EDM used by the U.S. Government to
calculate trade losses due to COOL. The Panel developed its own analysis
combining econometric analysis and an EDM that used only supply-side
information to calculate changes in Canadian and Mexican livestock trade.
The U.S. EDM includes both the supply and demand sides of the market. We
use the U.S. EDM and the Panel's assumptions to re-estimate the value of
lost trade due to COOL. The inclusion of demand-side effects and domestic
COOL costs produces lower estimated trade damages than those produced
using the Panel's analysis, validating the EDM as a useful quantitative tool
for this type of trade policy analysis.

摘要: Current prune composition data are outdated and require a
comprehensive and comparative re-analysis. This novel study aimed to: (i)
analyse and compare prune composition from major countries of origin;
and (ii) provide a comprehensive compositional analysis of prunes of USA
origin and compare this with UK and USA database data. Prune samples
were analysed for major nutrients and bioactive compounds and compared
between countries of origin. Total fibre was higher in prunes from the USA
(12.0 g/100 g) and Chile (11.5 g/100 g) compared with France (8.4 g/100 g)
and Argentina (8.9 g/100 g), while prunes from all countries contained high
levels of sorbitol (11.2-15.5 g/100 g). Differences in energy and starch
values compared with national databases reflected different approaches to
sampling and analysis. In conclusion, prunes contain high levels of fibre and
other bioactive compounds. Variations between country of origin and
database values highlight the importance of transparency in documenting
sampling and analysis methods.

摘要: We investigate spatial heterogeneity of country-of-origin effects
(COEs) within a country and its determinants. Drawing on the literature of
COEs and information economics, we maintain that COEs are
heterogeneous across regions within a country, which bears important
implications to better understand subnational heterogeneity of consumer
preferences. We employ a geographically weighted regression model, a
spatial analysis to estimate varying COEs across regions in the USA, and
analyze online review ratings of US and foreign car bands in the US market
during the 2008-2014 period. The results show that (1) COEs of car brands
from Germany, Japan, Korea, and the UK are heterogeneous across regions
in the USA; (2) geographic distance from the country-of-origin exerts
negative influences on COEs; and (3) the proportion of population born in
the country-of-origin positively influences COEs.

摘要: Purpose Despite the well-established impact of consumer
ethnocentrism (CET) on purchase intentions, extant literature offers limited
evidence on actual purchase behaviour. The purpose of this paper is to
address the gap by investigating the factors underlying variations in CET
behaviour using reported brand purchases. Product category, product cost
and visibility, brand and country of origin (COO) of purchased products are
investigated for their impact on the differences in the behavioural effects of
CET.
Design/methodology/approach - This study uses survey data collected in
the USA from a sample of 468 consumers. Self-reported brand purchases
are used and involve ten product categories, 432 brands, and 22 countries
of origin. Logistic regressions for repeated measures are used to test the
hypotheses formulated.
Findings - The results confirm that product category is an important
determinant of the behavioural effects of CET. CET also has a significant
impact on purchases of the most expensive product categories rather than
frequently purchased convenient items. Contrary to existing empirical
evidence, cultural similarity does not mitigate the negative effects of CET
and product visibility does not strengthen the behavioural effect of CET.
Practical implications - The study results should enhance managers'
understanding of the determinants of ethnocentric behaviour. The results
caution managers about the value of self-reported measures and indicate
that product features other than COO may be more effective in mitigating
the negative effects of CET.
Originality/value - This study contributes to extant literature on CET and
COO by investigating, for the first time, the problem of inconsistent
predictions of purchase behaviour in the context of foreign vs domestic
brands. For this purpose, the study adopted a novel methodological
approach to investigate actual brand purchases.

标题: Country of origin effects in international marketing channels How
overseas distributors account for the origins of products and brands

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide an understanding of
the country-of-origin (COO) effect on overseas distributors' behaviour in
international marketing channels. Integrating the theory of planned
behaviour (TPB) and the concepts of country-induced biases, the current
study develops an empirically testable model that explains and predicts
overseas distributors' behaviour in international marketing channels.
Design/methodology/approach - Hypotheses were tested using primary
data stemmed from a survey of channel relationships between exporters
and their overseas distributors. Data were collected from 103 distributors in
the USA.
Findings - Empirical evidence shows that attitude towards foreign brands,
social valuation of the origin of brands, and perceived behavioural control
affect overseas distributors' intention to place foreign brands. In addition,
country-induced bias factors - buyer animosity and country-related affect
to the origin of manufacture - are considered to be the antecedents of
attitude towards foreign brands.
Research limitations/implications - Because this study adopted a
cross-sectional design, the limitations of this method can be applied to the
study. In addition, because of the research context, the results of the
present research may lack generalizability. This manuscript, however,
integrated the TPB and the concepts of country-induced biases and
addressed the calls for research on the COO effects on overseas
distributors' decision in international marketing channels.
Practical implications - The manuscript suggests that to build positive
attitudes towards foreign brands, a firm should focus on promotions
through various media in international markets to lower animosity and the
perceived risk to the origin of manufacture. In addition, firms with foreign
brands need to identify and target a segment that feels comfortable about
spending their resources on those brands. Finally, international marketers
should focus on creating positive attitudes towards foreign brand goods
and proper pricing strategies.
Originality/value - This manuscript fills the knowledge gap of the COO
effect on organizational buyer behaviour in international marketing
channels.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore how a positive
country-of-origin image will impact consumer perceptions for a high-risk
product when the price is unexpectedly low.
Design/methodology/approach - An experimental approach was used with
consumers from the USA and India. Consumers were divided into groups
and given two scenarios that involved purchasing medicine that may have
been counterfeit. In one scenario manufacturing took place in India, the
other in Switzerland. They were asked to state the probability that certain
goods could be counterfeit if they originated from the stated country and
then make choices based on those perceived probabilities. An analysis of
variance was conducted to test for differences between groups.
Findings - The authors found that in both samples consumers attached
greater probabilities toward low-priced medicines if they originated from
Switzerland vs India. Conversely, the higher priced medicines were more
likely to be counterfeit if they originated from India vs Switzerland. When
given a choice scenario consumers chose more versions of the cheaper
products from India than from Switzerland.
Originality/value - When country-of-origin is salient then it is believed that
a positive country-of-origin image will benefit products that are produced
from that country. Consumers expect that more expensive products come
from a country with a positive country-of-origin image. The results
demonstrate that when there is a conflict between expectations of the
country and the price of the product the outcome is lowered perceptions
and consumption of the product. This holds true for consumers from a
high-cost economy (USA) and consumers from a low-cost economy (India).
The authors add to the literature on country-of-origin by demonstrating
that a positive image can be a liability when consumers are wary of
purchasing a high-risk product.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of
consumer ethnocentrism and country of origin across different immigrant
communities.
Design/methodology/approach - A survey was used to collect data
fromimmigrants in the USA and Mexico.
Findings - For immigrants with high levels of ethnocentrism, the bias for
home and host country products interacts with the country of origin effect
and creates multiple scenarios where the two effects move in the same or
opposite directions. For immigrants with low levels of ethnocentrism, on the
other hand, the country of origin effect alone is salient.
Research limitations/implications - The authors used a modified version of
CETSCALE. Future research should revisit the content and dimensionality of
consumer ethnocentrism in immigrant and other multicultural settings.
Practical implications - Both scholars and practitioners should exercise
caution when working with ethnocentrism and country of origin as today's
societies are increasingly multicultural, which requires major modifications
to the theories and tools.
Social implications - Similar to ways in which the US Census Bureau enabled
multicultural consumers to assert their mixed identities, scholarly and
business circles should embrace multiculturalism and empower immigrants.
Originality/value - Previous studies of consumer ethnocentrism and country
of origin in multicultural contexts have restricted themselves to only one
pattern of migration: consumers who move from developing to developed
countries. The paper addresses this limitation by investigating various
patterns of migration (including lateral, upward and downward) in multiple
first-generation immigrant communities in two countries.

摘要: Background: With immigration and minority populations rapidly
growing in the USA, it is critical to assess how these populations fare after
immigration, and in subsequent generations. Our aim is to compare death
rates and cause of death across foreign-born, US-born and country of
origin Chinese and Japanese populations.
Methods: We analysed all-cause and cause-specific age-standardised
mortality rates and trends using 2003-2011 US death record data for
Chinese and Japanese decedents aged 25 or older by nativity status and
sex, and used the WHO Mortality Database for Hong Kong and Japan
decedents in the same years. Characteristics such as age at death, absolute
number of deaths by cause and educational attainment were also reported.
Results: We examined a total of 10 458 849 deaths. All-cause mortality was
highest in Hong Kong and Japan, intermediate for foreign-born, and lowest
for US-born decedents. Improved mortality outcomes and higher
educational attainment among foreign-born were observed compared with
developed Asia counterparts. Lower rates in US-born decedents were due
to decreased cancer and communicable disease mortality rates in the US
heart disease mortality was either similar or slightly higher among
Chinese-Americans and Japanese-Americans compared with those in
developed Asia counterparts.
Conclusions: Mortality advantages in the USA were largely due to
improvements in cancer and communicable disease mortality outcomes.
Mortality advantages and higher educational attainments for foreign-born
populations compared with developed Asia counterparts may suggest
selective migration. Findings add to our limited understanding of the racial
and environmental contributions to immigrant health disparities.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the
country-of-origin (COO) effect on product evaluation to determine the
different effects of COO in Asian nations.
Design/methodology/approach - The authors focus on automobiles as the
target product category and conduct consumer surveys in three Asian
countries - China, Japan, and South Korea - and the USA. Since these four
countries are the major global production bases and consumption markets,
the authors can examine the reciprocal effects of COO across countries. The
authors propose a hierarchical conjoint analysis and estimate parameters.
For the attributes of conjoint analysis, the authors incorporate both the
COO of products and other functional aspects such as price and fuel
consumption to compare their effects on consumer evaluation.
Findings - The authors find different tendencies in each country's COO
effect. Further, the authors discuss the factors affecting consumer
evaluation in each country based on the country's culture and general
product images.
Originality/value - The authors' contributions to the literature are as follows.
First, in the research design, the authors incorporate COO information as an
attribute of automobiles. This enables us to compare the COO effect with
the effects of other functional aspects. The authors find that the COO effect
is substantially the same as the effect of other functional attributes. Second,
the authors assume a hierarchical structure in the conjoint analysis and
discuss the different preferences in each country. This hierarchical structure
enables to extract the reciprocal effects of COO across countries.

Patients and methods: Community-based study through a survey filled by
130 Arab-Americans aged >= 50 years. Demographic information and
information about CRC screening knowledge were obtained. Responses
were compared between the two largest population groups (Lebanese and
Yemenis).
Results: The majority of the participants (80%) were from Lebanon (52.3%)
and Yemen (27.7%). Majority of the Yemenis group have never been
screened for CRC (72.2% vs. 27.9%, p < 0.001). Majority of the unscreened
Yemenis were males (100% vs. 63.2%, p = 0.002). Both unscreened groups
had similar length of residence in U.S., citizenship status, education level,
health insurance and access to primary care physicians.
Results: Unscreened Lebanese had a higher family history of CRCS (31.6%
vs. 0%, p = 0.002). The most common reported barrier for both groups was
the misconception that CRCS is not necessary (62% for Yemenis & 42% for
Lebanese, p = 0.197). Unscreened Yemenis were more unaware about CRCS
(46% vs. 11%, p = 0.002).
Conclusion: CRC screening rates vary among Arab-Americans from different
countries of origin. Physicians should consider the country of origin when
recommending CRC screening to Arab-Americans. (C) 2015 Arab Journal of

摘要: Background: Studies from the USA, New Zealand and Denmark
suggest that many ethnic minority citizens obtain healthcare in their
country of origin. Their reasons for doing so and the possible consequences
remain unclear. Methods: We used data from the Healthy Life in an Urban
Setting study to investigate the magnitude, types, self-reported reasons
and determinants of past-year healthcare consumption in the country of
origin by ethnic minority people living in the Netherlands. Individuals of
African Surinamese (n = 2059), South-Asian Surinamese (n = 1915),
Ghanaian (n = 1426), Moroccan (n = 1516) and Turkish (n = 2245) origin
were included (recruited 20112013). We performed descriptive and
stepwise logistic regression analyses. Results: Respondents of Turkish origin
reported the highest healthcare utilization in the country of origin (21.3%)
compared with Moroccan (9.8%), Ghanaian (6.6%), African Surinamese
(4.8%) and South-Asian Surinamese (3.0%) respondents. The main services
used were outpatient clinics, pharmacies and health centres. The chief
reported motivations were healthcare for illness, dissatisfaction with care in
the residence country and seeking second opinions. Physical health status,
cultural distance to the Dutch healthcare system and Turkish origin were all
independently associated with healthcare use in countries of origin.
Conclusion: Both health status and attitudes towards services in the
countries of residence and origin are significantly associated with
cross-border healthcare use. Further research is needed to clarify the
reasons for the relatively high rates shown by Turkish respondents and to
explore the consequences for health and for healthcare utilization in the
country of residence.

摘要: Objectives The source of research may influence one's interpretation
of it in either negative or positive ways, however, there are no robust
experiments to determine how source impacts on one's judgment of the
research article. We determine the impact of source on respondents'
assessment of the quality and relevance of selected research abstracts.
Design Web-based survey design using four healthcare research abstracts
previously published and included in Cochrane Reviews.
Setting All Council on the Education of Public Health-accredited Schools
and Programmes of Public Health in the USA.
Participants 899 core faculty members (full, associate and assistant
professors)
Intervention Each of the four abstracts appeared with a high-income source
half of the time, and low-income source half of the time. Participants each
reviewed the same four abstracts, but were randomly allocated to receive
two abstracts with high-income source, and two abstracts with low-income
source, allowing for within-abstract comparison of quality and relevance
Primary outcome measures Within-abstract comparison of participants'
rating scores on two measuresstrength of the evidence, and likelihood of
referral to a peer (1-10 rating scale). OR was calculated using a generalised
ordered logit model adjusting for sociodemographic covariates.
Results Participants who received high income country source abstracts
were equal in all known characteristics to the participants who received the
abstracts with low income country sources. For one of the four abstracts (a
randomised, controlled trial of a pharmaceutical intervention), likelihood of
referral to a peer was greater if the source was a high income country (OR
1.28, 1.02 to 1.62, p<0.05).
Conclusions All things being equal, in one of the four abstracts, the
respondents were influenced by a high-income source in their rating of
research abstracts. More research may be needed to explore how the origin
of a research article may lead to stereotype activation and application in
research evaluation.

摘要: Food safety and quality certificates can be viewed as credence
characteristics because different actors (e.g. intermediaries, processors,
retailers, consumers) in the food supply chain are not able to observe the
quality of the audits in situ. This becomes more critical in the international
food trade as information asymmetries increase with time and distance and
the credibility of the standard behind the certificate may decrease as a
consequence. In this context, the aim of this study was to assess from a
global perspective the effect of country image on the perceived credibility
of food standards. Data were collected through an on-line survey during
Spring 2010. In total, responses provided by 301 practitioners from
developed and developing countries were analysed. Respondents were
asked to evaluate the credibility of food standards from eight countries
(Ghana, Italy, Australia, Mexico, China, UK, India and USA). Data were
analysed using descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-test and
Mann-Whitney U tests. Principal component analysis was used to
categorise groups of standards according to their perceived credibility. The
findings reveal that country image exerts a significant influence on
practitioners' credibility assessments of food standards. Standards from the
UK were perceived as the most credible whereas standards from China were
perceived as the least credible. Based on the results of this study, we discuss
some implications for food suppliers and policy makers.

摘要: Smoking rates in the country of origin were used to empirically
examine whether immigrants converge toward natives' level of smoking
prevalence with assimilation. Results show that assimilation is associated
with a lower likelihood of ever quitting smoking for immigrants from
countries with lower smoking rates relative to the USA and a higher
likelihood for immigrants from countries with higher smoking rates, but for
current or ever smoking, the estimated effects of assimilation are
statistically insignificant. Although these findings demonstrate that health
assimilation depends on the country of origin, the extent to which this
pattern of assimilation is due to peer influence, differences in
responsiveness to anti-smoking interventions such as taxes or smoke-free
air restrictions, and/or other factors remains unclear because of the
limitations of this study. Copyright (c) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

摘要: This paper uses two large databases, one of given names and one of
family names, to categorise the names of researchers from Italy, Sweden,
the UK and the USA whose papers in astronomy and oncology were
published in 2006-2007 and in 2011-2012 by sex (gender) and ethnicity or
national origin. For all the countries, there were relatively many more
females publishing papers in oncology than in astronomy, but their share of
contributions was lower than the percentage of researchers. Sweden and
the UK had much higher percentages of both other European and Rest of
the World researchers than Italy did. US researchers with non-European
names were categorised in six main country groups. The ones with the
greatest presence were Chinese (mainly Mandarin) and South Asians
(mainly Indians). The method could be adapted to investigate the progress
of women in research in many other countries, and the role played by
non-national researchers in their scientific output.

摘要: Aim People of Hispanic origin comprise nearly 16 percent of the (US)
population. With the growing population of Hispanics in the USA, an
important epidemiological question is whether their country of origin
affects survival in Hispanic women living in the USA at the time of diagnosis
of breast cancer. Methods We searched the Surveillance Epidemiology and
End Results (SEER) database for Hispanic women with a single primary
breast cancer with known country of origin diagnosed between 1973 and
2008. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate
whether the country of origin was an independent predictor of survival.
Results In total, 48849 female breast cancer patients of Hispanic origin were
included in the SEER database. Nearly 23 percent of them had an origin in
Mexico, 9 percent in South or Central America 3 percent in Puerto Rico, 2
percent in Cuba, 0.3 percent in the Dominical Republic and 3 percent in
other countries, including Europe. About 60 percent of patients were
identified as Hispanic by their surname or classified as Spanish/Hispanic not
otherwise specified. Median survival of patients in these groups was 204,
240, 142, 169, 82.4, 115.5 and 210 months, respectively (P<0.0001 by
log-rank test). Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the country
of origin was an independent predictor of survival in Hispanic women with
breast cancer. Conclusion The country of origin is an independent predictor
of overall survival among Hispanic women diagnosed with breast cancer.

摘要: Purpose - This paper aims to examine country-of-origin (COO) effects
from the theoretical angle of extended self and ldquoothernessrdquo.
Traditional COO perspectives view COO as an important quality-related,
informational cue used to form product evaluations, develop preferences
and make purchase decisions. Design/methodology/approach - An
experiment was conducted with the COO of a fresh milk product
manipulated to examine these predictions. Data were collected from four
samples, Americans living in the USA, Americans living in China, Chinese
living in China and Chinese living in the USA. Findings - Results found that
COO effects were stronger when consumers felt greater animosity toward
the foreign country, were more ethnocentric and were less acculturated (i.e.
conceptualized as a less expanded self). Additionally, negative product
events were interpreted in light of self, in that reactions to an adverse act
were stronger when ldquoothersrdquo committed the act. American
consumers living abroad were more heavily influenced by COO effects, and
evidence suggests that this effect occurred because these Americans had a
less expanded self than their Chinese counterparts. Originality/value - This
study provides a unique angle which leads to a deeper understanding of
COO effects which augments the traditional match hypothesis. Specifically,
COO effects are stronger, the smaller one's extended self (greater animosity
and ethnocentrism, less acculturation), and that wrongdoings are
interpreted in light of self (i.e. reaction to an adverse act is stronger when
ldquoothersrdquo commit the act). Few studies to date have focused on
these factors as layers of armor that consumers use to protect their self and
extended self-image in a cross-cultural context.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of
ethnocentrism in attenuating the negative country of origin effect and
latecomer brands. The literature has established the importance of the
ldquocountry of originrdquo effect, and this study compares consumers in
the Asian emerging markets to developed consumers' response to cars
from China, India and Russia. Design/methodology/approach - Data on
consumers' willingness to purchase cars from emerging markets such as
China, India and Russia were collected from 3,201 respondents in those
three emerging markets and in the three most important Western car
markets, the USA, the UK and Germany. The study employed a
choice-based conjoint analysis. Findings - The results of this study
confirmed the hypothesised ethnocentrism in the emerging markets with a
strong preference for their own latecomer brands (Great Wall, Tata and
AvtoVAZ, respectively). Developed markets in contrast are more sceptical of
the Chinese, Indian and Russian car brands, but there is nonetheless
substantial potential, especially with consumers who have previously
bought latecomer brands from Asia. Utility values per brand, price,
brand-partnership, product features, warranties and also place of
manufacturing/assembly have been calculated in the
study. Originality/value - This paper should prove valuable to academic
researchers in establishing strong consumer preferences in emerging
markets for their own products, and in establishing the potential of
latecomer brands in developed markets.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to assess Korean consumers'
valuation for domestic rice and imported rice from China and the USA.
Design/methodology/approach - In order to identify Korean consumers'
willingness to pay (WTP) for domestic, Chinese, and US rice, the
non-hypothetical experimental auction approach (i.e. the random nth price
auction) was utilized. Auction participants were randomly assigned to three
treatments: no labelling information, country of origin labelling
information, and food miles labelling information to analyze the effects of
differing labelling information on consumers' valuation.
Findings - The results suggest that Korean consumers have a positive
perception of and preference for domestic rice, particularly when country of
origin information is provided. However, food miles information alone may
not help consumers to distinguish between domestic and Chinese rice.
Originality/value - The marketing of imported rice will increase since Korea
will be opening its rice market under tariffication after 2015. Therefore, it is
necessary for Korea and other exporting countries to identify the feasibility
of marketing both domestic and imported rice, and also to investigate
which rice from specific countries Korean consumers prefer. Therefore, the
authors conducted the random nth price auction using real rice products
and cash in transactions.

摘要: Background: Health Technology Assessments (HTAs) are used to
inform decision-making and their usefulness depends on the quality and
relevance of research and specific studies for health-policy decisions. Little
is known about the country of origin of studies used for HTAs.
Objective: To investigate which countries have made the largest
contributions to inform health policy decisions through studies included in
HTAs in Germany.
Methods: The country of origin was extracted from all studies included in
HTAs of the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care,
(IQWiG), published from 2/2006 to 9/2010. Studies were ranked according
to the total number of studies per country, adjusted for population size,
gross domestic product (GDP), and total health expenditure.
Results: 1087 studies were included in 54 HTA reports. Studies were
assigned to 45 countries. Most of the studies (27%) originated from the
United States (USA), 18% were multinational, followed by 7% from the
United Kingdom (UK) and 5% from Germany. Nordic countries led the
ranking when adjusting for population size/million (ranks 1-3,6,9/45
countries), GDP/billion US$ (1,2,5,9,14/45), or health expenditure/billion
US$ (1,3,5,12,13/45). The relative contribution of the UK was stable in the
analyses when adjusted for population size (7/45), GDP (7/45), and health
expenditure (9/45), whereas the USA (13, 18, and 30/45) and Germany (17,
19, and 21/45) dropped in the ranking.
Conclusions: More than half of the studies relevant for evidence-informed
decision-making in Germany originated from the USA, followed by
multinational research and the UK. Only 5% of the studies originated from
Germany. According to our findings, there appears to be some discrepancy
between the use of globally generated evidence and the contribution to the

摘要: This research aims to update the factors influencing consumer
purchase of luxury goods and, more specifically, to consider the combined
effect of brand and country of origin (CoO) on the purchasing decision. This
article extends an exploratory phase constructed from qualitative data
previously gathered on this topic. The study includes administering a
questionnaire online in seven countries (China, France, India, Italy, Japan,
Russia, and the USA) to a total sample of 1102 respondents. The richness of
this research relates to the possibility of an intercultural analysis of the
results from seven countries. These results concern the differences in the
relative importance of components of the consumer decision-making
process in respect of the purchase of luxury and non-luxury goods: the
relative importance of CoO for consumers making purchasing decisions
relating to luxury goods; and the variation in consumers' decision-making
criteria depending on the maturity of the luxury market. This research
allows the authors to confirm, develop, and generalize results previously
obtained in the exploratory phase of their work. They are interesting in
terms of management recommendations for a company that wishes to
expand internationally in a geographic area covered by the study, since the
research found significant differences. The results of the research contribute
also to the theoretical controversy concerning the importance of CoO in the
consumer decision-making process. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights

摘要: Antenatal screening has become standard practice in many countries.
However, not all pregnant women choose to be tested. In the UK, the
incidence of some birth defects is found to be higher in babies of Asian
women than in those of women from other ethnic groups, while there is
some evidence suggesting that ethnic minorities, especially Asian women,
are less likely to undergo antenatal screening and prenatal diagnosis, the
reasons for which are unclear. This study aims to identify and describe the
literature on issues around antenatal screening and prenatal diagnostic
testing for genetic disorders among women of Asian descent in western
countries. The Medline, CINAHL, ASSIA and PsycInfo databases were
searched for the period of 1995 and 2010. Twenty-one studies met the
inclusion criteria and were therefore reviewed. In general, Asian women
were found to hold favourable attitudes towards testing. However, they
reported a poorer understanding of testing than white women and not
being offered a test, and were less able to make informed choices. Asian
women in the UK and Australia were found to be less likely than their white
counterparts to have undergone prenatal diagnosis, while such differences
were not found in the USA and Canada. The equity of access to quality
antenatal care, alongside comprehensive well thought out antenatal
screening programmes, can be assured if strategies are in place which
actively involve all ethnic groups and take account of social and cultural
appropriateness for the population served. An understanding of broad
factors that inform womens decision-making on test uptake would help
health professionals provide women and their families with more culturally
sensitive information and support that they may additionally need to make
more informed choices.

摘要: Purpose - In response to the popularity of multinational products with
limited information on countries of origins, this study aims to explore
factors influencing consumers' perceived prices for multinational products.
Design/methodological approach - The study performed a 2 (COP)times2
(COM) within-subjects randomized experimental research, using the USA
and China as the countries of parts (COP) and the countries of
manufacturing (COM) for cotton apparel. A total of 77 US consumers
participated. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were performed.
Findings - Consumers' income level was important for perceived prices on
apparel products made in the USA and/or of US cotton. Expertise was also
important for higher pricing of apparel made in the USA of US cotton, while
familiarity with COO labeling laws negatively affected perceived prices
when apparel was made in China. Perceived sustainability had the largest
impact on consumers' perceived prices for apparel made in the USA of
Chinese cotton. Research limitations/implications - The study used a limited
sample size and the data were collected through experimental studies.
Generalization must be done with caution. Practical implications - Apparel
businesses may want to declare COP, if this country could provide cues to
high quality, high price, or excellent design. Apparel businesses that would
like to promote US products may want to target those who have a high
sense of self-efficacy and educate consumers with COO labeling rules and
regulations. Originality value - The findings offer significant factors
affecting consumers' perceived price on multinationl products, providing
business practice recommendations surrounding COP and COM.

摘要: Background and Objective: Inclusion in systematic reviews is one
important component in judging the potential impact of clinical studies
upon practice and hence the 'value for money' of spending for clinical
research. This study aims to quantify the distribution of countries of origin
of clinical studies used in Cochrane Reviews (CRs), and to link these data to
the size of a country and to its spending on research.
Methods: Random sample of publications used for CRs published in Issue 1
2008 and of publications used in CRs in the field of complementary and
alternative medicine (CAM). Publications without original data were
excluded. Likely countries of origin determined based on abstracts/full
texts. CIA World Factbook (population data) and OECD database (economic
data) were used.
Results: 1,000 random entries out of 140,005 references available in all
specialities. In 876 (91.4%) of 959 eligible studies, country of origin was
determined. The USA was the leading contributor (36.0% of the studies),
followed by UK (13.4%), Canada (5.3%), Australia and Sweden (3.7%). In the
CAM sample, country of origin was determined in 458 (93.5%) of 497
assessed studies. Again, the USA was the leading contributor (24.9%), with
China also emerging as a significant contributor (24.7%) in this field. For
both samples, the contribution of smaller countries (especially Scandinavian
countries, Greece, and Ireland) became more noteworthy when considered
in relation to population size and research spending.
Conclusions: Our results support the leading roles of both the USA and the
UK in publishing clinical papers. The emerging role of China can be seen,
particularly related to CAM studies. Taking into account size of population
and economic power, countries like France, Germany, Italy, and Spain
provide small contributions. In contrast, smaller countries like Australia,
Denmark, Finland, Ireland, New Zealand, and Sweden also play major roles.

标题: Differences in citation rates by country of origin for papers published
in top-ranked medical journals: do they reflect inequalities in access to
publication?

摘要: Background The acceptance of a paper in a top-ranked journal
depends on the importance of the study, and should not depend on its
country of origin. If the papers' citation rate is a proxy for their importance,
and the threshold for acceptance is unrelated to the country of origin,
papers from different countries published in the same journal should have a
similar number of citations. Conversely, if the threshold is lowered for some
countries, their papers will have a lower mean citation rate.
Methods The number of citations and the corresponding author's country
were obtained for 4724 papers published between 1998 and 2002 in the
British Medical Journal, the Lancet, Journal of the American Medical
Association and New England Journal of Medicine. Countries were grouped
according to the World Bank classification and geographical location:
low-middle income countries; high-income European countries;
high-income non-European countries; UK and USA. The probability of
papers being poorly cited by country of origin was estimated, using
domestic papers (British papers published in British journals and US papers
published in US journals) as the reference.
Results Compared with domestic papers, the OR of being poorly cited was
0.67 (95% CI 0.55 to 0.81) for papers from high-income European countries,
0.97 (0.76 to 1.24) for papers from high-income non-European countries
and 1.93 (1.28 to 2.89) for papers from low-middle income countries.
Conclusions Papers from different countries published in the same journal
have different citation rates. This may reflect difficulties for researchers from
some countries to publish their research in leading medical journals.

摘要: Despite growing evidence about differences in the attitudes and
behaviors of consumers in emerging and developed markets, there is little
research on the differences in country of origin (COO) effects on their
evaluation, behavioral intentions (BIs), and actual purchase of imported
products. This paper introduces a new conceptual framework incorporating
consumer ethnocentrism (CET), materialism (MAT), and value consciousness
(VC) to hypothesize several differences in the influence of COO effects on
consumers from developed and emerging markets. A web-based study with
1752 consumers in four countries representing two developed markets (the
UK and the USA) and two emerging markets (China and India) shows
significant differences in the moderating influence of CET, MAT, and VC on
the effects of COO on the evaluations and BIs for a fictitious passenger car
brand, and on the actual choice of car brands owned by them. The findings
highlight the importance of looking beyond CET at other relevant
psychographic variables to understand the differences in motivations
underlying consumer perceptions and behavior towards imported
products. Journal of International Business Studies (2011) 42, 285-306.

标题: Rules of origin under US trade agreements with Arab countries: Are
they helping and hindering free trade?
来源出版物: Journal of International Trade Law and Policy

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to analyze the different kinds of
rules of origin included in the US-Arab countries free trade agreements
(FTAs), and suggest reform measures that should be adopted to ease the
complexity and costs of rules of origin in these agreements.
Design/methodology/approach - The paper begins with a brief discussion
of the concept of free trade, GATT/WTO, and the recently concluded FTAs
between the USA and Arab countries. Then, the article analyzes in details
rules of origin in the US-Arab countries FTAs. The analysis includes, among
other things, substantial transformation and value-added tests,
product-specific processes, and other relevant rules of origin. The paper
also addresses the documentations and procedures required to prove
origin and the costs involved. Finally, the paper offers a set of conclusions
and recommendations. Findings - The paper argues that rules of origin in
these FTAs are complex and protectionist and indeed could act barriers to
trade. The paper suggests reforming these rules by liberalizing rules of
origin for certain products that are subject to very low tariff rates, and
implementation of - among other things, full cumulation and de minimis
rules of origin. Originality/value - The findings in the paper are important to
policymakers, and any person interested in understanding the effects of
rules of origin in trade agreements. It is hoped that the paper will assist
officials in Arab countries who contemplate negotiating FTAs by providing
them with insightful analysis of rules of origin in existing agreements.

摘要: Seafood was the first class of foods to fall under the 2002 US
regulatory requirements for mandatory country-of-origin labelling (COOL).
If this regulation created benefits for consumers, filling an information void
by demanding information that the market did not, then there should have
been an observable response in the demand for seafood. To gauge the
impact, we examined markets most likely to respond. We estimated retail
demand for shrimp, seafood that in the USA is largely sourced from
Southeast Asia and has a history of raising food safety concerns. Our
estimated demand systems included standard variables consistent with
economic theory-price and expenditure changes, ongoing trends, and
seasonality in consumption patterns. The demand systems also accounted
for regulations that required country-of-origin labels for some, but not all,
foods prior to COOL. Data came from a nationally representative panel of
households that record retail food purchases, allowing us to construct
relatively high-frequency market data suitable for testing for the presence
of even short-lived impacts. Household demographic information allowed
us to separately estimate demands by consumers most likely to respond to
label information. The demand systems yielded reasonable price and
expenditure elasticity estimates, but none of the variables related to COOL
revealed evidence of an impact.

标题: Services offshoring Does perceived service quality affect
country-of-service origin preference?

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to determine if consumers
exhibit a country of service origin preference and to understand what
service quality attributes consumers perceive to be most important when
receiving services that originate from abroad.
Design/methodology/approach - Respondents rated their perception of
service quality, measured through an expanded version of the SERVQUAL
scale considered appropriate for offshore service encounters, for various
countries popular for providing offshore services to the USA. Countries,
selected from the A.T. Kearney Offshore Location Attractiveness Index,
represented various regions of the world, economic development, cultural
distance, and near/offshore locations.
Findings - Results, from both regional and national studies, indicate that US
citizens possess a country of service origin (COSO) hierarchy based on
perceived service quality. Communication, security, and reliability are the
most important service quality attributes for consumers when receiving an
off-shored service. Significant differences were identified among countries
for each of these service quality attributes.
Practical implications - The findings suggest that firms need to be aware of
consumer attitudes and perceptions about countries considered attractive
for offshoring. The most preferred countries to consumers for services
offshoring are not necessarily the ones with the highest skilled labor, lowest
cost, or geographic closeness to the home country.
Originality/value - The paper extends the concept of country of origin
(COO) to services and expands the current knowledge base of consumer
opinions about services offshoring.

摘要: Over recent years, there has been an increasing acknowledgment of
the diversity that exists among Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates.
To facilitate comparative studies aimed at deciphering the relevance of this
diversity to human disease, an unambiguous and easily interpretable
method of strain classification is required. Presently, the most effective
means of assigning isolates into a series of unambiguous lineages is the
method of Gagneux et al. (S. Gagneux et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 103:
2869-2873, 2006) that involves the PCR-based detection of large sequence
polymorphisms (LSPs). In this manner, isolates are classified into six major
lineages, the majority of which display a high degree of geographic
restriction. Here we describe an independent replicate of the Gagneux
study carried out on 798 isolates collected over a 6-year period from mostly
foreign-born patients resident on the island of Montreal, Canada. The
original trends in terms of bacterial genotype and patient ethnicity are
remarkably conserved within this Montreal cohort, even though the patient
distributions between the two populations are quite distinct. In parallel with
the LSP analysis, we also demonstrate that "clustered" tuberculosis (TB)
cases defined through restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)
analysis (for isolates with >= 6 IS6110 copies) or RFLP in combination with
spoligotyping (for isolates with <6 IS6110 copies) do not stray across the
LSP-defined lineage boundaries. However, our data also demonstrate the
poor discriminatory power of either RFLP or spoligotyping alone for these
low-IS6110-copy-number isolates. We believe that this independent
validation of the LSP method should encourage researchers to adopt this
system in investigations aimed at elucidating the role of strain variation in
TB.

摘要: In English-speaking, Western-Anglo countries, where smoking has
become stigmatized in recent decades as a result of widespread
anti-smoking campaigns, smokers commonly report poorer psychological
health on average than nonsmokers do. This may be indirectly related to
the strong pressures to quit in such countries, as poorer psychological
health is associated with a reduced likelihood of quitting, thus leading to a
selection bias for smokers with relatively poorer psychological health. In the
present study, 147 smoker and nonsmoker participants either came from
Western-Anglo countries where smoking has become stigmatized
(Australia, Canada, USA) or countries in regions where smoking remains
relatively more accepted (Asia, Latin America, Europe). Smokers and
nonsmokers were assessed on a widely used self-report measure of anxiety,
depression, and stress. Multivariate analysis revealed a significant
interaction between smoker status (smoker, nonsmoker) and country of
origin (Western-Anglo, other) on psychological health ratings, with
univariate analysis showing a significant interaction on anxiety scores.
Among those from Western-Anglo countries, smokers reported
significantly higher levels of anxiety than nonsmokers did, whereas there
was no difference in anxiety between smokers and nonsmokers from other
countries. There was no difference in the number of cigarettes smoked per
day between the samples of smokers, indicating very similar levels of
nicotine intake in the two groups. The findings support the notion that a
selection bias for smokers with relatively poorer psychological health is
occurring in Western-Anglo countries.

摘要: Fruits of 63 accessions of Capsicum chinense Jacq. from the
USDA/ARS Capsicum germplasm collection were analyzed for two major
capsaicinoids, capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin, using gas chromatography
with nitrogen phosphorus detection (GC/NPD). The objectives of the
present investigation were: (i) to quantify the major capsaicinoids (capsaicin
and dihydrocapsaicin) in fruits of Capsicum chinense accessions and (ii) to
identify accessions containing great concentrations of capsaicinoids among
countries of hot pepper origin. Seeds of C. chinense accessions received
from Belize, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, and
United States were field grown in a silty-loam soil. Mature fruits were
analyzed for major capsaicinoids content. Capsaicin concentrations were
generally greater than dihydrocapsaicin. Fruits of C. chinense accession
PI640900 (USA) contained the greatest concentration of capsaicin (1.52 mg
g- 1 fruit) and dihydrocapsaicin (1.16 mg g- 1 fruit), while total major
capsaicinoids in the fruits of PI438648 (Mexico) averaged 2 mg g- 1 fruit.
These two accessions were identified as potential candidates for mass
production of major capsaicinoids that have health-promoting properties
and for use as a source of pest control agents in agricultural fields.

标题: Brand and country of origin valuations of automobiles

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to quantify the value of brands
and countries of origin in monetary units. The automobile industry in
Thailand is chosen because of the variety of brands and the intense
competition within the industry. Both the pick up truck and passenger car
market shares have been dominated by Japanese brands for decades, whilst
the luxury market has been dominated by German brands.
Design/methodology/approach - The data are collected from an authors'
survey carried out during the "Thailand International Motor Expo 2007". A
total of 244 models are chosen from 20 brands, and from 7 countries of
origin. The hedonic price model is applied to ascertain the price premiums
of these different brands, taking into account their countries of origin, since
each automobile brand offers several models with distinguishably different
features. Findings - The results indicate that different brand names affect
consumers' "Willingness to Pay," in which Mercedes, BMW, and Audi brands
are ranked the highest. Surprisingly, Subaru, Mitsubishi and Toyota are the
only Japanese brands to have significant brand values. The findings also
illustrate a direct relationship between market acceptance and the price
premium for automobiles in the luxury car segment, however the same
relationship does not hold true for the cars in economy car segment. It
seems that Thai consumers put the highest value on cars from Germany,
whilst cars from Japan and the USA possess approximately the same value.
Korean and Malaysian cars, which focus on low-prices as a means to obtain
a competitive advantage, are as to be expected ranked last. An association
was found between countries' GDP per capita and the price premium.
Countries with a lower GDP per capita show lower price premiums and vise
versa. The exception is Germany, which has a low GDP per capita yet has a
higher price premium than the better ranked GDP countries such as the
USA Research limitations/implications - Though the German brands are
ranked the highest, competition in the car industry is likely to be intense,
since their premiums are not noticeably different. Additionally, there are
implications regarding entry barriers for new automobile brands from the
same or different countries. These entry barriers are considered to be quite
high, as the brand premiums could represent more than 25 percent of the
car prices, at least for the compact car segment. A strategy of discounted
price penetration is therefore recommended for a brand which is new to the
market, and which does not originate from a highly regarded country. For
existing brands with below average values, a customer-based approach is
recommended in which those brands improve the attributes in order to
create higher premiums. Originality/value - In addition to confirming the
relationship between the price premiums of brands and their countries of
origin, this paper successfully provides valuations in monetary units and
rankings accordingly. This research could be useful to both incumbents and
new entrants, when designing their pricing strategies.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of
country stereotyping, bad press, and consumer ethnocentrism on the prices
a country can command and be competitive.
Design/methodology/approach - A total of 767 consumers were given
prices for products in 11 different categories, then told each product was
made in China. They were then asked how much more (if anything) they
would be willing to pay if the product was made in Germany, the USA, or
India. Findings - Price premiums were significant for all categories, and
increased for those scoring higher on a Consumer Ethnocentric Tendencies
Scale (CET Scale). However, completing the CET Scale before answering
price questions caused respondents to have a lower price premium for US
products. The size of the price premium was also positively correlated with
the amount of exposure to negative news concerning Chinese products.
Research limitations/implications - It is unknown how consumers would
respond to categories not studied. Practical implications - The cost of
setting up government controls and industry oversight is expensive.
However, the cost of negative news with product recalls is also expensive.
Countries who avoid such negative news may be able to price their
products 14 percent to 100 percent higher. Originality/value - This study
quantifies price premiums available to countries with a positive COO image.
It also allows a manager to determine the feasibility of developing
domestically produced products in specific categories, by identifying
categories where consumers would pay a premium for domestically
produced products.

摘要: Prior research has yielded mixed evidence of a relationship between
immigrant generational status or acculturation and overweight or obesity
among children of immigrants. This study examined socioeconomic status
(SES) and economic development of the sending country as additional
factors influencing children body mass index (BMI) and as moderating the
relationship between parental generational status and BMI. Using data from
the kindergarten cohort of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey (N =
16,664 children) carried out in the USA, the research estimated growth
curve models and tested the significance of interaction terms between
generational status (i.e., children of the 1.0 generation, who arrived at age
12 or older; children of the 1.5 generation, who arrived between the ages of
birth and 11; and children of natives), SES, and the country of origin's gross
domestic product per capita. Results indicate that the children of the 1.0
generation from higher-income countries tended to gain more weight than
children from lower-income countries. The relationship between family SES
and weight gain was positive among the first-generation children and
stronger among those from lower-income countries than from
higher-income countries. Weight gain was positively associated with
generation only among lower SES children from low-income countries. It
was negatively associated with generation for higher SES children from
low-income countries. The results are consistent with a conceptual model of
BMI assimilation that links global nutrition patterns to the levels and
socioeconomic variations in BMI among the 1.0-generation and their
children, and conceptualizes assimilation as occurring within
socioeconomic strata. This approach leads to the expectation that
overweight is likely to be positively associated with generation among
those from low-income countries (as measured by GDP/capita) with low SES
but negatively associated among those from low-income countries with
high SES. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

摘要: Several food safety issues have prompted questions regarding the
role of country-of-origin labeling, traceability, and food safety inspections
in consumers' perceptions of food safety and quality. The importance of
origin-labeling and traceability have been discussed in the EU for some
time. North American cases of mad cow disease have led to increased
discussions of these topics in the US, however, relatively little research has
been conducted to examine the value US consumers place on these
attributes. Choice experiments were used to analyze US consumers' relative
preferences and willingtiess-to-pay for these meat attributes in labeled
ribeye beef steaks. Relatively speaking, consumers value certification of
USDA food safety inspection more than any of the other choice set
attributes, including country-of-origin labeling, traceability and tenderness.
As a result, indication of origin may only become a signal of enhanced
quality if the source-of-origin is associated with higher food safety or
quality. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

摘要: Background: The number of publications on clinical trials is unknown
as well as the countries publishing most trial reports. To try to examine
these questions we performed an ecological study.
Methods: We searched the 454,449 records on publications in The
Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials ( CENTRAL) in The Cochrane
Library, Issue 3, 2005 (CD-ROM version) for possible country of origin. We
inspected a random sample of 906 records for information on country and
type of trial.
Results: There was an exponential growth of publications on randomised
controlled trials and controlled clinical trials since 1946, but the growth
seems to have seized since 2000. We identified the possible country of
origin of 210,974 publications (46.4%). The USA is leading with about
46,789 publications followed by UK, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands,
Canada, and France. Sweden becomes the leader with 891 publications per
million inhabitants during the last 60 years followed by Denmark (n = 864),
New Zealand ( n = 791), Finland ( n = 781), the Netherlands ( n = 570),
Switzerland ( n = 547), and Norway ( n = 543). In depth assessment of the
random sample backed these findings.
Conclusion: Many records lacked country of origin, even after the additional
scrutiny. The number of publications on clinical trials increased
exponentially until the turn of the century. Rather small, democratic, and
wealthy countries take the lead when the number of publications on clinical
trials is calculated based on million inhabitants. If all countries produced the
same number of trials as these countries, this could mean thousands of new
effective treatments during the next 60 years.

摘要: Onions (Allium cepa L.) are produced in many countries and are one of
the most popular vegetables in the world, thus leading to an enormous
amount of international trade. It is currently important that a scientific
technique be developed for determining geographic origin as a means to
detect fraudulent labeling. We have therefore developed a technique based
on mineral analysis and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The onion
samples used in this study were from Hokkaido, Hyogo, and Saga, which are
the primary onion-growing areas in Japan, and those from countries that
export onions to Japan (China, the United States, New Zealand, Thailand,
Australia, and Chile). Of 309 samples, 108 were from Hokkaido, 52 were
from Saga, 77 were from Hyogo, and 72 were from abroad. Fourteen
elements (Na, Mg, P, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Mo, Cd, Cs, and Ba) in the
samples were determined by frame atomic adsorption spectrometry,
inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, and inductively
coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The models established by LDA were
used to discriminate the geographic origin between Hokkaido and abroad,
Hyogo and abroad, and Saga and abroad. Ten-fold cross-validations were
conducted using these models. The discrimination accuracies obtained by
cross-validation between Hokkaido and abroad were 100 and 86%,
respectively. Those between Hyogo and abroad were 100 and 90%,
respectively. Those between Saga and abroad were 98 and 90%,
respectively. In addition, it was demonstrated that the fingerprint of an
element pattern from a specific production area, which a crop receives, did
not easily change by the variations of fertilization, crop year, variety, soil
type, and production year if appropriate elements were chosen.

摘要: Comparison is made between the frequency of published contributors
to Personality and Individual Differences (PAID) in the periods 1993-1995,
1999-2001 and 2003-2005. On all occasions between eight and eleven
countries account for the vast majority of articles being led by a Big Two of
the USA and the UK. The dominance of the former has increased with the
latter decreasing. The contribution of 'continents' is similarly stable with
Americas leading and Rest of Europe consolidating second place over the
UK. With the most recent increase in issues, and the trend towards shorter
articles, there are more countries contributing and many more articles
published. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

标题: Can country-of-origin labeling succeed as a marketing tool for

摘要: This paper draws on the theory of product differentiation in a trade
context and uses three case studies to highlight the conditions necessary
for a successful geographical-origin branding strategy for farm produce in
the United States. In so doing, the U.S. country-of-origin labeling (COOL)
scheme as a branding strategy for produce is assessed. The paper argues
that the use of geographic identifiers to achieve product differentiation is
viable, but any claim that such differentiation will prove useful at the
country level for farm produce seems likely to be misplaced. In order to
raise prices, a key complement to branding is some restriction on the
volume of product going out under the brand name. These restrictions may
be accomplished by supply controls, quality controls, or entry barriers, but
will not be available to all U.S. products currently hoping to gain from
mandatory COOL.

摘要: This paper examines the potential impacts of U.S. mandatory country
of origin labeling. North American hog and pork markets are represented as
vertically related in a partial equilibrium non-spatial model. A synthetic
model is calibrated to historic data and then used to trace the program's
added costs as they are passed through the market to determine who wins
and who loses. The transactions costs reduce the welfare of all agents in the
United States. Canadian welfare depends primarily on whether mixed
supply chains continue to be accepted in the United States and trade in
hogs continues. A closed border significantly reduces the welfare of
Canadian hog producers and increases the welfare of Canadian pork
processors.

摘要: Recent work by agricultural economists has failed to adequately
identify why consumers desire country-of-origin labeling, a key piece of
information needed to determine whether a market-failure exists. This
paper brings to the attention of agricultural economists a sizable body of
literature on country-of-origin effects from the marketing and business
disciplines. Based on this literature, we draw a distinction between several
consumer motivations for origin labels and we identify which of these is
cause for public policy. We propose several research questions that require
answers if the consequences of country-of-origin labeling policy are to be
fully understood.

摘要: This article reports on breastfeeding intentions of Hispanic and black
women by country of origin (continental US born or foreign born) in a
low-income population that has experienced demographic shifts. Data were
derived from prenatal interviews with 382 women from 2 community clinics.
Primary outcome measures were intentions to formula feed, breastfeed, or
formula and breastfeed. Foreign-born women were significantly more likely
to intend to only breastfeed (42% vs 24% for continental US born, P < .05).
In multivariate analyses, country of origin and having breastfed a previous
child were the only significant predictors of breastfeeding intention. In
contrast to previous work, black (non-Hispanic) and Hispanic women's.
breastfeeding plans were similar. This finding coincides with dramatic
increases in the numbers of blacks from West Indian countries-where
breastfeeding is the norm-in the study locate.

摘要: Although several studies have estimated the costs of
country-of-origin labeling (COOL), no previous study has documented how
these costs will be distributed across the livestock sector or how producer
and consumer welfare will be affected. This analysis presents an equilibrium
displacement model of the farm, wholesale, and retail markets for beef,
pork, and poultry that documents how producers and consumers will be
affected by COOL. Findings reveal that as the costs of COOL are shifted
from the producer to the processor and retailer, producers are made
increasingly better off while consumers are made increasingly worse off.
Further, an increase in aggregate consumer demand of 2% to 3% is likely
sufficient to offset lost producer welfare due to COOL costs.

摘要: Consumer willingness to pay for a mandatory country-of-origin
labeling program is assessed. A consumer survey was conducted during
2002 in several grocery stores in Boulder, Denver, and Fort Collins,
Colorado. Econometric results indicate that surveyed consumers are willing
to pay an average of $184 per household annually for a mandatory
country-of-origin labeling program. Respondents were also willing to pay
an average of $1.53 and $0.70 per pound more for steak and hamburger
labeled as "U.S. Certified Steak" and "U.S. Certified Hamburger," which is
equivalent to an increase of 38% and 58%, respectively, over the initial
given price.

摘要: This study examines country of origin (CO) and brand effects on
consumers' quality perceptions, attitudes, and purchase intentions with
respect to a service-industry product: international cruise-line packages in
Singapore. Star Cruise (Malaysia) and Royal Caribbean Lines (USA) were
selected as the brands and countries for the study. Respondents provided
quality, attitude and purchase intention ratings. Contrary to prior evidence,
CO does appear to be an important informational cue for consumers of
services; CO effects were found to be stronger than brand effects for quality
and attitude ratings, while brand was more significantly correlated with
purchase intentions. A positive CO image compensated for a weak brand,
suggesting that, where applicable, marketing efforts should emphasize an
association with a positive CO perception. Conversely, a strong brand was
not found to compensate for a negative CO perception; in this case, it
would be appropriate to change the associated CO to one with a more
positive image, as at Least one major cruise fine has already done.

摘要: Changing patterns in protein availability was studied from 1965 in
Western countries using FAO Food balance sheets based on agriculture
production statistics. In 1995- 1997 total protein availability was very high in
the USA and Australia, but highest in Greece, France and Portugal In the
Mediterranean countries studied, as well as in Japan, where protein
availability was low in 1965- 1967, there is a steep increase in animal protein
availability, while vegetal protein availability slightly decreases or does not
change. In several countries with high levels of protein availability, a
decrease, principally of animal proteins, is observed: from 1975-1977 in
Australia and from 1985-1987 in France and Germany.
Cereals are the principal sources of vegetal proteins in all countries, with
availabilities ranging from 20 to 40 grams per day per capita. Where protein
availability from this source was highest in 1965-1967 (Greece and Italy)
there is a decrease over the four decades studied, whereas there is an
increase in countries where it was originally low (Sweden, USA, Denmark). In
Japan there is a reduction of about a third (18.6 to 11.8 grams a day) of the
rice protein availability from 1965 to 1995-1997. Vegetables are important
sources of vegetal proteins, especially in Greece, Italy and France. Pulses ore
also significant sources in Greece, Italy USA and UK, whereas in Germany,
Denmark, Sweden and France potatoes are still an important but steadily
diminishing source of proteins. In the UK, this source is actually increasing,
while the overall protein availability remains lower than in the other
countries studied. Oil crops are important contributors especially in Japan
(almost 10 grams a day/and in the USA lover 2 grams a day). Alcoholic
beverages also contribute in traditional beer countries such as Germany,
Denmark and the UK.
In conclusion, although differences in overall protein availability tend to
disappear in the countries studied, the sources of vegetal proteins are still
very different, especially the non-cereal sources. The levels of vegetal
protein availability mostly do not tend to diminish with the increasing
amounts of animal proteins. A reversal tendency, especially concerning
animal proteins, seems to appear in some high-level protein countries.

摘要: This study was carried out to investigate the effects of breed, sire and
dam pedigree on the performance of imported purebred swine. Data used
in this study was 6,472 records of Hampshire, Landrace, Yorkshire and
Duroc breeding stock which were registered in the herd book of the Korea
Animal Improvement Association. Their performance tests were conducted
at the first Swine Performance Station from 1986 to 1992. Age at 30kg and
90kg, average daily gain, feed conversion, backfat thickness, and selection
index were estimated according to a breed, sire and dam pedigree by the
Generalized Linear Model of SAS. The results obtained are summarized as
follows: 1. In age at 30kg, the effects of a breed, sift and darn pedigree were
highly significantly superior in Landrace with the average of 74.17 +- 1.08
days, in progeny from Danish breeds with the average of 72.95 +- 0.96 days,
and in progeny from American breeds with the average of 72.73 +- 0.89
days. In age at 90kg, the effects of a breed, sire and darn pedigree were
significantly superior in Duroc with the average of 141.23 +- 1.53 days, in
progeny from Swedish breeds with the average of 137.90 +- 4.03 days, and
in progeny from American breeds with the average of 140.62 +- 1.22 days.
2. In daily gain, the effects of breed, and sire pedigree were significantly
superior in Durocs with the average of 927.49 +- 13.89 g, and in progeny
from Irish breed with the average of 911.96 +- 36.95 g. However, there was
not a significant difference in effect of a dam pedigree on that. In feed
conversion, the effects of breed, and sire pedigree were significantly
superior in Yorkshires with the average of 2.54 +- 0.02 and in Denmark
progeny with the average of 2.55 +- 0.02. However, there was no significant
effect of dam pedigree on that. 3. The effects of breed, sire and dam
pedigree in backfat thickness were significantly thick in Landrace with the
average of 1.52 +- 0.03 cm, on progeny from Canadian breeds with the
average of 1.50 +- 0.03 cm, and in progeny from Swedish breeds with the
average of 1.45 +- 0.10 cm, respectively. In selection index, there were
significantly superior difference in Duroc with the average of 190.58 +- 2.19
for the effect of breed, and in progeny from Irish breeds with the average of
192.50 +- 5.87 for the effect of sire progeny, and then, in Taiwan progeny
with the average of 193.89 +- 6.82 for the effect of dam pedigree.

摘要: While China's outward direct investments continue to soar, many
Chinese firms reportedly face social resistance in host countries during the
internationalization process. We explore this phenomenon from a
country-of-origin (COO) perspective using Fiske and colleagues' (Fiske,
Cuddy, Glick, & Xu, 2002; Fiske, Xu, Cuddy, & Glick, 1999) stereotype
content model. Our findings from a recent case in New Zealand show that
China's COO emerges as a key variable influencing how local actors view
Chinese investors. Specifically, despite China's significant economic and
social developments over the past decades, it suffers from a somewhat
negative country image in two stereotype dimensions: competence and
warmth. This leads to a perception by local actors that Chinese firms are of
low quality, which explains the source of resistance in society. To address
such a liability of origin, Chinese firms must learn to deal with this form of
stereotypical judgment encountered in a host environment. Further
contributions and limitations of the study are discussed in the article. (C)

摘要: Employing detailed industry-level data, this paper examines the
country-of-origin effects of foreign direct investment in China.
The analysis demonstrates that there are significant differences in
behaviour between investors from non-Chinese Western (NCW) source
countries and those from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (HMT).
The findings show that NCW investors target local market, while HMT
investors are export-oriented. Furthermore, NCW firms are more responsive
to local labour quality and technological capability than their HMT

Evidence from China

出版年: MAR 2020
摘要: In China, the demand for halal products is sizable. However, halal
product adulteration is common, and product authenticity is doubtful due
to the unknown origin of the products. To date, literature addressing
China's Muslims' demand for halal products and the role of country of
origin (COO) on China's Muslims' halal personal care product consumption
have been limited. The purpose of this study was to explore if the COO
influences China's Muslims purchase decision on halal personal care
products in China. The research used the Revealed Preference Theory to
determine the effects of COO on China's Muslims' purchasing decisions for
halal products. Using the cross-sectional survey method, data was collected
from Muslims living in northwest China and processed-analysed using a
logit model application. The results of the study revealed that the COO of
halal products is an important concern for China's Muslims, with other
selection criteria that also influence the purchase decision. It is clear that
COO is an important indication of the authenticity of halal products for
China's Muslims. As well, this paper provides the notion that COO is one of
the important selection criteria for (consumers' trust in the products) of
halal consumption in a non-Muslim country.

摘要: Purpose - The paper seeks to examine Chinese consumers'
wine-purchasing behaviour and, more especially, the importance of country
of origin (COO) effects in the evaluation and assessment of wine quality and
as it relates to decision making for wine purchases.
Design/methodology/approach - The data for this study were collected in
2004 through an interviewer-administered, structured questionnaire
targeted at randomly selected wine buyers in the ChangNing district of
Shanghai (China). Chinese consumers tend to purchase wine primarily for
sensorial reasons, consuming it on social occasions. Wine has never
acquired the connotations of being merely a thirst-quenching drink as it did
in some European countries. They are also attracted to wine for its health
benefits.
Findings - It was found that Chinese consumers are more likely to use
extrinsic cues than intrinsic cues to evaluate wine quality. Thus, COO
information is a significantly more important cue than price for Chinese
consumers as a quality cue. However, there appears to be no significant
difference in the importance of COO and brand in this regard. Wine is a
complex product - small differences in any one of a huge range of variables,
from the weather, through the grape, the production method, the storage
and even the bottling can affect quality. As might be expected in a market
that is relatively under-developed and which has a smaller experience of
wine drinking than some other parts of the world, Chinese consumers pay
much more attention to COO when they purchase wine for special
occasions, where their choice is exposed to the judgment of others. By
contrast, when purchasing wine for their own private consumption, COO
assumes a lesser importance.
Originality/value - This research can significantly help wine marketers to
develop more effective positioning strategies in China. It will also help in
the development of pricing and promotional decisions.

摘要: The implicit value to Chinese consumers of the country-of-origin
(COO) characteristic of dairy products is of great importance to estimate.
This study adopted the hedonic price model to evaluate the shadow price
of the COO attribute of both UHT fluid milk and infant formula collected
from the five leading e-commerce platforms (Alibaba's Tmall Supermarket,
Jingdong, Suning Purchase, COFCO I buy nets, and Yihaodian) in China. The
target countries were Germany; France, the Netherlands, and Spain from
the EU, and Australia and New Zealand from Oceania. The results show that
the implicit values of the COO of UHT fluid milk and infant formula are
reversed. Having a COO of Spain and Germany decreased the price of UHT
fluid milk compared with China, while Germany, New Zealand, France, the
Netherlands, and Spain all earned a price premium on infant formula. The
B2C platforms Yihaodian, Jingdong, Alibaba's Tmall Supermarket and
Suning Purchase all earned a price premium above COFCO I buy nets. These
findings have important implications for dairy industry of EU countries,
Australia, New Zealand, and China in terms of the promotion of domestic
daily products. Moreover, this study contributes to the existing body of
literature by innovating in employing sales data from c-commerce scanners
to study the implicit value of food attributes.

摘要: We show how the initial subnational entry location of foreign
multinational enterprises (MNEs) in China influences their subsequent
within-country location choices and expansion speed. We distinguish
between MNEs that establish their first subsidiary in co-ethnic cores - dense
agglomerations of other firms from the same country of origin - and MNEs
that locate their first subsidiary in the periphery, i.e., outside of these
co-ethnic cores. To identify co-ethnic cores in China, we employ a
geo-visualization methodology, which draws the boundaries of cores
organically and dynamically over time. We contrast our findings with the
prevailing approach of using static administrative boundaries for identifying
agglomerations. Our results provide evidence of path dependency, in that
(a) entry through subnational locations with strong co-ethnic communities
is followed by expansion into other locations where co-ethnic communities
are present, and that (b) entry through co-ethnic communities accelerates
the pace at which MNEs establish additional subsidiaries in China. We also
find that co-ethnic community effects continue to influence within-country
MNE activities over time, despite a host of economic, institutional, and
investment developments.

series of factors including labor cost increase, currency appreciation,
overcapacity of production, domestic competition rise and US trade war
cause negative effects on manufacturing FDI flows. However, rising
purchasing power, consumer demand and market capacity create new
opportunities for foreign business in China. The government makes efforts
to nurture service trade as an engine of economic growth alongside trade in
goods. Many incentive policies have been launched for numerous service
industries. These are the push hand behind the rapid rise in service FDI. The
neighboring countries or regions in Asia and free trade ports with taxation
advantages contribute vast majority of the FDI in China. Hong Kong's status
as the largest supplier of FDI to the mainland has become increasingly
prominent over the past 20 years, partially due to so called "round-trip" FDI.
Chinese economic diplomacy promotes regional integration in East and
Southeast Asia, and creates conditions for the liberalization of
intra-regional investment. Closer trade connections with European
countries boost the EU investment in China over recent years. Our studies of
FDI's structural changes in China can generate policy implications widely for
the government, foreign companies and investors, as well as developing
countries committed to FDI attraction.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of
country stereotyping, bad press, and consumer ethnocentrism on the prices
a country can command and be competitive.
Design/methodology/approach - A total of 767 consumers were given
prices for products in 11 different categories, then told each product was
made in China. They were then asked how much more (if anything) they
would be willing to pay if the product was made in Germany, the USA, or
India. Findings - Price premiums were significant for all categories, and
increased for those scoring higher on a Consumer Ethnocentric Tendencies
Scale (CET Scale). However, completing the CET Scale before answering
price questions caused respondents to have a lower price premium for US
products. The size of the price premium was also positively correlated with
the amount of exposure to negative news concerning Chinese products.
Research limitations/implications - It is unknown how consumers would
respond to categories not studied. Practical implications - The cost of
setting up government controls and industry oversight is expensive.
However, the cost of negative news with product recalls is also expensive.
Countries who avoid such negative news may be able to price their
products 14 percent to 100 percent higher. Originality/value - This study
quantifies price premiums available to countries with a positive COO image.
It also allows a manager to determine the feasibility of developing
domestically produced products in specific categories, by identifying
categories where consumers would pay a premium for domestically
produced products.

标题: Are country-of-origin stereotypes weaker among younger Chinese

摘要: With extensive globalization, the effect of country-of-origin (COO)
stereotypes has been continuously questioned by many scholars; a key
dispute is whether younger generations still hold COO stereotypes. Some
scholars have proved downward trends in developed countries, but there is
little evidence in developing countries, such as China. This research employs
three studies to investigate through both implicit and explicit measurement
whether Chinese born in the 1980s and those born in the 1990s differ in
their attitudes toward domestic and imported products in terms of function
and image. The results show that the Chinese of the 1980s generation still
hold strong COO stereotypes that imported products are better than
domestic products for either a general product level or a specific product
category. The 1990s generation does not follow suit. This result is explained
by the life course theory, which highlights that family communication
patterns can influence people's COO stereotypes. It is highly recommended
that marketers consider the different attitudes of China's 1980s generation
and 1990s generation toward imported and domestic products to better
communicate the imported or Chinese imprint of the products.

摘要: The authors of this study investigate online game consumption in
Korea and China, the two key Asian markets, to analyze relationships
among country of origin (COO), brand image, belief toward online games,
and perceived game quality. Perceived game quality includes three
dimensions of quality: product quality, service quality, and gratification
quality. The authors survey 355 Korean and Chinese online game users and
find that brand image influences quality perceptions directly or indirectly
through brand belief. Compared with brand image, COO seems to have
indirect and weaker effects on perceptions of game quality. The multigroup
research model reveals several cross-country differences. COO significantly
affects beliefs in China but not in Korea. Brand image more highly impacts
brand beliefs in Korea than it does in China. To signal superior product or
service quality to Chinese users, game developers should highlight COO
along with other product information. To appeal to Korean users, game
developers should strengthen symbolic aspects of brand image because
Koreans react more positively to brand personality, brand content, and
corporate identity. Copyright (c) 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

摘要: The importance of country-of-origin as a cue in consumer choice
behavior is well established in the international business literature,
However, little research has been done in conceptualizing and measuring
the specific construct of country-of-origin. This research attempts to show
that country-of-origin is rooted in the construct of "country-image" and
makes a case for the measurement of the broad construct of
country-of-origin image (COI). We test and revise an existing scale of COI
and attempt to validate it with data from China, Taiwan, and India. (C) 2002

摘要: This paper improves renewal payment based patent value model by
introducing unexpired patents into the model. We estimate value of the
invention patents based on SIPO records in China and compare values of
patents between local owners and owners from the U.S., Japan and
European countries. The study reveals that patent value from Chinese
owners is much lower than that of overseas owners. This larger value gap
implies important difference in motive of the patenting and R&D quality
between China and those technology intensive sources usually from
economically advanced countries and regions. The model developed in this
study is also applied to patent data in different technical fields, successfully
differing technical sectors with higher value (e.g., machinery) and those with
lower value (e.g., pharmaceuticals), in terms of China market based patent
records. Both applications prove that the newly developed model can be an
important analytical tool for providing classified patent value on different
purposes, especially in case of China. Crown Copyright (C) 2012 Published

摘要: The recent wave of luxury ventures in China has created an important
need to understand luxury brand-building in China. A critical component of
this research domain is the concept of country-of-origin (CoO). Chinese
ventures use multiple country associations which makes the country one of
the most suitable places to study the new phenomenon of hybrid brands.
This marks a new stage in the evolution of CoO research. Findings
stemming from a conceptual research and an explorative study are used to
develop a conceptual model for managing CoO affiliations for hybrid
brands within the context of Chinese luxury brands. Practical implications
will help brand managers to understand which CoO facets make a luxury
brand 'Chinese' and, on the other hand, how to improve brand prestige with
Western CoO cues. (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this study is to decompose the effects of
country-of-origin labeling (COOL) into multiple dimensions-macrolevel
image, related to the country image, and microlevel image, related to dairy
industry/product attributes-and investigate how each dimension affects
Chinese consumers' evaluation of imported milk.
Design/methodology/approach - This study adopted the
Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) auction mechanism to elicit consumers'
willingness to pay (WTP) for milk from different countries (New Zealand,
Australia, Germany, France and China). The experiment was conducted with
348 shoppers at supermarkets in three major cities of China (Hangzhou,
Wuhan and Shijiazhuang). The study subject was ultrahigh-temperature
processing (UHT) milk (200 mL Tetra Pak aseptic brick package).
Findings - The results show that Chinese consumers are willing to pay a
premium for UHT milk from New Zealand, Australia, Germany and France
compared to domestic milk, and the premiums are 59.4, 58.9, 57.9, and
52.9% respectively. Both microlevel and macrolevel images exert a
substantial influence on consumers' WTP, and the microlevel image has a
greater impact on consumers' evaluation of milk than the macrolevel
image. Particularly, the macropolitical, microtechnology/quality and
microdesign/package dimensions have a positive influence on WTP for
milk.
Originality/value - This study contributes to the existing literature in
introducing the country-of-origin image (COI) construct with different
dimensions to get in-depth knowledge about the country-of-origin (COO)
effect in food or agricultural economics.

摘要: The increasing presence of foreign direct investment in China has
boosted the competition for talent among different multinational
corporations (MNCs) from diverse national backgrounds. This article
investigates the differences in the human resource management (HRM)
approaches adopted by the US, European, and Japanese MNC subsidiaries
operating in China and explores the relationships between employees'
perceptions toward the HRM approaches and turnover intention.
Significant differences in the HRM approaches and employees' level of
turnover intention were found, indicating a 'country-of-origin effect' in
HRM approaches that subsequently influences employees' attitudes. In
addition, this article produces evidence suggesting that the perception of
HRM characteristics predicts employees' intentions to quit. Implications for
HRM convergence or divergence debate are discussed.

标题: The country of origin effect: a hedonic price analysis of the Chinese
wine market

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the country of origin
(COO) effect on wine purchase in China by considering a sample from an
e-commerce website. The paper contribute to the literature on hedonic
pricing by applying this model to the Chinese market and including COO as
product attribute.
Design/methodology/approach A hedonic price model is adopted to
measure the effect of search attributes on wine sales in China. A reduced
form of the classical hedonic analysis is used as in Nerlove (1995), given the
assumption that prices and attributes are taken as exogenous to
consumers.
Findings Results show that the COO represents the attribute that most
influences wine sales in China. Protected indicators of origin, which denote
wine with recognised certificates, are also significant, reinforcing the
importance of the production area. Vintage attribute does not impact sales,
suggesting a low level of consumer experience with wine.
Research limitations/implications The study suffers from the limitations of
results' generalisability, given the size and characteristics of the sample. In
the future research, the model should be tested on a larger sample.
Moreover, it can be applied on other products, in which COO represents an
information and quality cue.
Practical implications Firms operating in sectors where COO implies specific
characteristics of quality should enhance this attribute in their marketing
strategies to increase their competitive advantage. Also policy implications
with respect to the governmental actions to support wine producers are
discussed.
Originality/value Hedonic price analysis represents a well-established
model; however, to the best of the authors' knowledge it has never been
used in China before. This study also highlights the primary role of COO as
search attribute in wine purchase.

摘要: There is a need in many industries and government functions to
identify the source of origin for various materials. For example, the food
industry needs to ensure that the claimed source of some of the food
products (e. g. coffee, spices) are in fact legitimate due to the variation of
quality from different source locations world-wide. Another example is to
identify the source country for imported commodities going through
Customs so as to assess the correct tariff which varies depending on the
source country. Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) holds
promise for being a field-portable tool for rapid identification of the
country of origin of various materials. Recent research at Towson University
has identified the elemental markers needed for discrimination of select
spices back to their country of origin using wavelength dispersive X-ray
fluorescence (WDXRF). The WDXRF device, however, is not particularly
suitable for convenient and fast field analysis. We are extending this study
to evaluate the potential of a benchtop commercial LIBS device that could
be located at ports of entry and to compare its performance with WDXRF.
Our initial study on the spice cumin has demonstrated that discriminant
function models can not only be created with 100% separation between the
4 countries of origin (China, India, Syria, and Turkey), but also when tested
they show 100% correct matching to the country of origin. This study adds
to the growing number of publications that indicate the power of LIBS
elemental fingerprinting for provenance determinations.

摘要: In response to the dominance of hybrid and multinational products in
the U.S. textile and apparel marketplace, and the increasing consumer
demand for product origin information, the study examined the
relationship among multi-level COO displays, consumer purchase
preferences, and perceived price. The results of 76 responses through a 2 x
2 randomized block, repeated measures research, using the United States
and China as country of parts (COP) and country of manufacturing (COM),
showed that the two-level COO impacted consumers' purchase preferences
and perceived prices, based on their perceived value of sustainability.
However, consumers' purchase preferences significantly decreased as a
result of unusually high perceived prices. These findings have important
implications for textile and apparel businesses and policy makers as adding
COP along with COM to declare the product's COO would increase
consumer purchase preferences and perceived values, if applied along with
careful pricing strategies.

摘要: Drawing on the perspective of country of origin, this study provides
evidence regarding how entry-mode choice and postentry branding
strategy affect foreign product purchase intentions in an animosity context.
The authors conduct two studies in two host country markets, one with high
animosity (China) and the other with low animosity (Taiwan) toward a target
country (Japan). The results of Study 1 reveal that in a high-animosity host
country, consumers prefer the foreign products launched through an
acquisition joint venture to those that are imports or the derivatives of full
acquisition. The findings of Study 2 indicate that in a high-animosity host
country, consumers prefer the foreign products launched through an
acquisition joint venture mode that adopts a local brand or a local-foreign
cobrand to one that adopts a foreign-local cobrand. In contrast, in a
low-animosity host country, entry modes and postentry branding strategies
have no effect on foreign product purchase intentions.

摘要: The paper analyzes the effect of country of origin (COO)
multidimensionality on theintention to buy Italian footwear in samples of
retail buyers operating in three differentcountries, namely Spain, Russia and
China. Specifically, it proposes a model aimed at testing the relationships
among three different country image dimensions – CountryImage (CI),
Product–Country Image (PCI), and Country-Related Product Image(CRPI) –
and the retail buyers’ intention to purchase products originating in
Italy,while also verifying the effect of product–country congruity (FIT). A
total of 483questionnaires were collected from samples of Spanish, Russian,
and Chinese fashion retailers and processed applying Structural Equation
Modeling (SEM). Results show that COO influences retail buyers through a
causal link within the three COOs’dimensions, reinforced by the FIT, as the
CI effect is fully mediated by PCI.Theoretical and managerial implications
for fashion firms are derived.

摘要: Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine how developing country brand
name and brand origin affect the customer's evaluation of the brand in
radically new high-tech products. Using processing fluency as a theoretical
underpinning, this study can answer the following questions: first, does
foreign brand name (developed vs developing Asian brand name) affect the
customer's attitude toward the brand? Second, does the brand origin
(developed vs developing country) moderate the effect of foreign brand
name on attitude toward the brand? Third, does the individual difference
(knowledge and technological sophistication) matter in determining the
brand origin and fit effect on willingness to buy?
Design/methodology/approach
A 2x2 between subject experiment was conducted in which two factors
were manipulated: foreign brand name (developed: Japan vs developing:
China) and brand origin (developed: Japan vs developing: China).
Findings
The fit between brand origin and brand name leads to better evaluation of
the brand than no fit. On the other hand, for developing country brand
origin (e.g. China), the brand naming effect is mitigated by enhanced
processing fluency caused by fit, which leads to better evaluation of
developing country brand. Fit effect is more pronounced for more
knowledgeable consumers. Technologically more sophisticated consumers
are more willing to buy the developing country brand origin than
technologically less sophisticated consumers due to the processing fluency
effect.
Originality/value
This paper introduces the two dimensions of foreign brand name
(developed vs developing) and examines the interaction with the brand
origin. This research fills the gap of under-researched area in brand naming
literature, which is the effect of developing country brand naming on
attitude toward the brand of radically new high-tech products. This research
extends the previous literature by applying linguistic mechanism,
processing fluency to examine the Asian brand naming including emerging
market. This research makes an important theoretical contribution by
identifying an underlying individual-level construct, "knowledge" and
"technological sophistication," which explains and influences the effects of
brand name and brand origin on willingness to buy the brand.

摘要: Word-of-mouth has been shown to differ across cultures but the
extent to which these differences extend to the online environment has not
been investigated. This study examines the content of 5993 discussion
postings to U.S.- and China-based discussion boards during two 90-day
periods in 2004 and 2005. The results show significant differences in the
behavior of participants on the different discussion boards; those on the
China-based discussion boards engaged in higher levels of
information-seeking than their U.S. counterparts, and lower levels of
information-giving. Participants on the Chinese discussion boards also
engaged in significantly higher (and increasing) levels of discussion
regarding the Country-of-Origin (CoO) of products. This first study of
cross-cultural differences in CoO effects online revealed an important
extension to previous offline studies of CoO effects, finding strong negative
CoO effects which appeared to be largely independent of product quality,
relating instead to nationally based animosity towards the CoO. (c) 2007

摘要: This research is aimed at investigating the consumer's preference for
food produced in Taiwan and the economic benefits for the country of
origin labeling (COOL). The study used Vickrey second-price sealed-bid
auction to elicit the consumer's willingness to pay (WTP) for products under
COOL. The study compared the bid functions estimated with Tobit model
and the premium functions estimated with ordinary least squares (OLS).
Due to price affiliation, it is more reliable to use the estimated premium
functions. The estimated premiums are 67.5%, 84.7% and 99% for Taiwan
products over their alternatives of China olives, China oolong tea, and
Vietnam oolong tea, respectively. The study concludes that enacting and
rigorously enforcing a COOL law would increase economic benefits to
consumers in Taiwan, and at the same time, placing the imported products
in the leveled playing field. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

摘要: Purpose
Using consumer electronics brands as examples, this paper aims to present
country-of-origin (COO) as a dynamic concept, by analyzing changes in the
representation and perception of the "Made in China" label in Germany.
Design/methodology/approach
Building on previous COO research, the study formulates four research
questions, which are answered with a comprehensive brand analysis using
website, media, and consumer data. Information were collected from 11
Chinese brand websites, 10,681 German media articles and a sample of 490
German consumers. The authors statistically evaluated the survey data and
examined the website and media data by means of a qualitative content
analysis.
Findings
The results of the study show how Chinese brands currently present their
COO in Germany and how the perception of "Made in China," by German
media and consumers, has changed to varying degrees. These changes
pose marketing challenges for the increasingly prevalent Chinese brands in
Germany, which need to be addressed by companies using strategic PR and
marketing activities.
Research limitations/implications
This study suggests that COO images should be understood as a dynamic
construct, and the multifaceted brand perceptions, including media reports,
should be given greater consideration.
Practical implications
International marketers will find information on current country product
recognition, and recommendations for the analysis and strategic
communication of (Chinese) brands abroad.
Originality/value
This study contributes to COO research by examining the recent status of
"Made in China" labels in Germany, focusing on China not as a
manufacturing location, but as the home country for branded products. A
media analysis is incorporated to add a novel dimension to the examination
of brand identity-image gaps.

characteristic of the outer zones of contact metamorphic aureoles did not
form during the progressive stage of contact metamorphism, but are
pseudomorphs after earlier andalusite with characteristic chiastolite
microstructure. The baked margin produced by contact metamorphism of
syenite against a dyke in the Houshihushan ring complex, Shanhaiguan,
Hebei Province, China, is an unusual feature caused by the dyke's role as a
feeder to a family of cone-sheets.

摘要: Building on perspectives on triadic group relations and status
hierarchies, we predicted that Americans would be more likely to expect
immigrants from a perceived low-status rather than high-status country of
origin to assimilate to the U.S. mainstream culture and that ethnocentrism
would mediate this effect (N = 2,246). Using 60 countries/areas as targets,
Study 1 showed that perceived country status negatively predicted
assimilation expectations for immigrants from that country. In Studies 2
through 3, participants were exposed to a news article which emphasized
China's shortcomings, achievements, or status-irrelevant attributes. In
Studies 4 through 7, including one preregistered study, participants were
presented with a portrayal of a fictitious country with high (or intermediate)
or low status. Compared with high-status (or intermediate status)
conditions, American participants were more likely to expect immigrants
from a low-status country to assimilate to the United States, and
ethnocentrism (causally) mediated these effects even when alternative
mediators were controlled. Moreover, assimilation expectations mediated
the effect of country status on a tendency to Anglicize a new immigrant's
name. A meta-analysis supported a significant effect of country status on
assimilation expectations, and a mega-analysis verified the mediating role
of ethnocentrism. This research reveals a status bias toward immigrants,
broadening our views on how international relations affect domestic
relations, highlighting the importance and malleability of ethnocentrism.
The generalizability of current American findings to other countries is
discussed.

摘要: This study examines the effect of the country of origin of the vaccine
on vaccination acceptance against COVID-19. More specifically, we show
how the political context in Brazil has affected acceptance of vaccines
produced in China, Russia, the US, and England at the University of Oxford.
Our data come from a survey experiment applied to a national sample of
2771 adult Brazilians between September 23 and October 2, 2020. We find
greater rejection among Brazilians for vaccines developed in China and
Russia, as compared to vaccines from the US or England. We also find that
rejection of the Chinese-developed vaccine is particularly strong among
those who support President Jair Bolsonaro-a COVID-19 denier and strong
critic of China and vaccination, in general. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

摘要: Purpose This study aims to examine the effect of country of origin
(COO) on customers' value expectation and willingness to pay by
employing signalling theory and cue utilisation.
Design/methodology/approach The data were collected from 386
customers via an online survey in the context of Australian food retail
franchise stores in China. Findings The findings indicate that COO origin is
an important determinant of customer expectations including service
quality, social value, emotional value, monetary price, behavioural price and
reputation. Furthermore, the only social value was a significant predictor of
willingness to pay. Although the direct effect of COO on willingness to
purchase was not significant, the COO had a significant indirect effect on
willingness to pay via social value. Finally, the COO has a stronger effect on
monetary price expectation among customers who were aware of the
country brands than those who were unaware. Originality/value The study
extends the body of knowledge related to the effect of COO during the
pre-purchase process and provides important implications for retailers who
are looking to enter an overseas market such as China.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the
country-of-origin (COO) effect on product evaluation to determine the
different effects of COO in Asian nations.
Design/methodology/approach - The authors focus on automobiles as the
target product category and conduct consumer surveys in three Asian
countries - China, Japan, and South Korea - and the USA. Since these four
countries are the major global production bases and consumption markets,
the authors can examine the reciprocal effects of COO across countries. The
authors propose a hierarchical conjoint analysis and estimate parameters.
For the attributes of conjoint analysis, the authors incorporate both the
COO of products and other functional aspects such as price and fuel
consumption to compare their effects on consumer evaluation.
Findings - The authors find different tendencies in each country's COO
effect. Further, the authors discuss the factors affecting consumer
evaluation in each country based on the country's culture and general
product images.
Originality/value - The authors' contributions to the literature are as follows.
First, in the research design, the authors incorporate COO information as an
attribute of automobiles. This enables us to compare the COO effect with
the effects of other functional aspects. The authors find that the COO effect
is substantially the same as the effect of other functional attributes. Second,
the authors assume a hierarchical structure in the conjoint analysis and
discuss the different preferences in each country. This hierarchical structure
enables to extract the reciprocal effects of COO across countries.

摘要: Background and Objective: Inclusion in systematic reviews is one
important component in judging the potential impact of clinical studies
upon practice and hence the 'value for money' of spending for clinical
research. This study aims to quantify the distribution of countries of origin
of clinical studies used in Cochrane Reviews (CRs), and to link these data to
the size of a country and to its spending on research.
Methods: Random sample of publications used for CRs published in Issue 1
2008 and of publications used in CRs in the field of complementary and
alternative medicine (CAM). Publications without original data were
excluded. Likely countries of origin determined based on abstracts/full
texts. CIA World Factbook (population data) and OECD database (economic
data) were used.
Results: 1,000 random entries out of 140,005 references available in all
specialities. In 876 (91.4%) of 959 eligible studies, country of origin was
determined. The USA was the leading contributor (36.0% of the studies),
followed by UK (13.4%), Canada (5.3%), Australia and Sweden (3.7%). In the
CAM sample, country of origin was determined in 458 (93.5%) of 497
assessed studies. Again, the USA was the leading contributor (24.9%), with
China also emerging as a significant contributor (24.7%) in this field. For
both samples, the contribution of smaller countries (especially Scandinavian
countries, Greece, and Ireland) became more noteworthy when considered
in relation to population size and research spending.
Conclusions: Our results support the leading roles of both the USA and the
UK in publishing clinical papers. The emerging role of China can be seen,
particularly related to CAM studies. Taking into account size of population
and economic power, countries like France, Germany, Italy, and Spain
provide small contributions. In contrast, smaller countries like Australia,
Denmark, Finland, Ireland, New Zealand, and Sweden also play major roles.

摘要: Using data from China, this article finds that agglomeration
economies derived from the clustering of manufacturing and foreign
investment activities, combined with better access to markets, influence the
location of foreign manufacturers. Foreign enterprises are attracted to cities
with investment incentives, but they avoid high labour cost locations. The
locational patterns also suggest country of origin effects. American, Hong
Kong and Taiwanese manufacturers tend to value access to domestic
markets, while Japanese investors favour port cities. Further analysis
indicates the presence of origin of country effects at the sectoral level.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide an in-depth
examination of country-of-origin (COO) perceptions of consumers in a
multinational setting. It shows how explanatory factors like demographics,
familiarity with a country's products, purchase behaviour and psychological
variables jointly work to explain consumers' COO perceptions.
Design/methodology/approach - This is a quantitative study using a
drop-off and pick-up survey among three samples of consumers in Canada,
Morocco and Taiwan. The final sample size was comprised of 506 male
consumers. The data were analyzed using factor analysis to group countries
of origin and analyses of variance to relate COO perceptions to the
explanatory variables.
Findings - The familiarity with products made in a country was the strongest
predictor of country perceptions, followed by nationality and the
manufacturing process and product complexity dimensions of country
evaluation. Canadians had the highest propensity to distinguish between
countries of origin on the basis of product technological complexity and
manufacturing dimensions and Moroccans the least. Taiwanese appeared
to show animosity towards China.
Research limitations/implications - The study used an only-male sample
from a limited number of countries. Future research should seek to develop
a multi-dimensional scale for the familiarity construct. They should also
explore the concept of consumer capacity to distinguish between Coos.
Cross-national studies using cognitive style scales should be carried out. A
qualitative examination of Taiwanese's COO perceptions is also
recommended.
Practical implications - It seems important to increase consumers'
familiarity with a COO and its products to improve its overall perception.
Products made in Latin American countries have the lowest level of
familiarity in general. Thus, increasing familiarity with their products is
particularly important to achieve export success.
Originality/value - This study contributes to the marketing and international
business literatures and provides insights to international marketers by
bringing valuable information that can help make decisions as to where to
manufacture and how to promote global products. It provides guidance as
to what types of nations are likely to require multi-dimensional information
about countries of origin.

摘要: This study aims to investigate the impact of country of origin (COO)
on Lebanese female consumers' attitudes and perceptions toward skincare
and cosmetics products made in France or China. Structured questionnaires
were used. Samples were collected using an online data collection method.
Three hundred respondents fully completed the survey. One-way ANOVA,
multinomial logistic regression, single and multiple regression analysis, and
chi-square tests were adopted to test several hypotheses. The study found
that consumers' level of involvement influences consumers' attitudes
toward country of origin. COO information search and change in the
perception appear not to be correlated in the case of China, contrary to that
of France. The paper compensates some of the deficiencies in the literature
concerning examining the effect of COO within the context of the cosmetics
industry in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, particularly in
Lebanon. It also delivers marketing insights for Chinese and French
cosmetics and skincare companies pursuing to expand in the Lebanese
market. Managers can use these insights to inform their future market
communication and entry strategies.

摘要: Labelling on apparel products usually focuses on the country where
manufacturing takes place, rather than where the raw materials were
obtained. A choice experiment of consumers in three southern US states
was conducted to determine preferences and marginal willingness to pay
(mWTP) for wool blend sweaters based on fibre origin and country of
manufacture. Fibre origin choices were Australia, US and US State, with the
latter to investigate consumer interest in local over simply domestic.
Manufacturing had two possibilities, US and China. Survey questions were
used to determine an average consumer ethnocentric tendency (CET) score
for each consumer, and a median split was used to place each into a High or
Low CET group. Nested logit models were analysed for both groups, and
mWTP estimates were computed from the coefficients. Both CET groups
were willing to pay significant premiums for State-produced wool over US
wool, and for US wool over Australian wool. However, the Low CET group
exhibited lower premiums for fibre origins than their High CET
counterparts. Ethnocentric consumers, unlike Low CET consumers, were
additionally willing to pay significant premiums for wool blend sweaters
knitted in the US vs. those knitted in China. Results suggest that labelling
fibre by State or by US origin may allow producers to obtain substantial
premiums for their apparel products. Promotion of domestic manufacturing
though may only be effective for a smaller set of consumers.

each serogroup 1a, 1b, 3, 4a and 4b strain was observed among isolates
from Russia, Korea, mainland China, and Japan but such was absent in West
European strains. Therefore, the possibility that the origin of Y.
pseudotuberculosis between West Europe and eastern Eurasia east of
Moscow may be from a different clone should be considered.

摘要: The dairy incident in 2008 influenced Chinese residents' attitudes
towards domestic and foreign brands in the market. This paper highlights
the strong consumer perceptions existing in the Chinese dairy market
towards the country of origin of dairy products. Chinese residents generally
believe dairy products from foreign countries are superior than those from
China. A new theoretical framework is developed to explore the driving
factors of country-of-effects and its corresponding impacts. Consumers'
image of different countries and national stereotypes, consumer
ethnocentrism and animosity, product familiarity and experience, product
involvement and some cultural value differences were found to drive
country-of-origin effects. These effects directly impact on consumer's
perceived quality, brand awareness, brand association and loyalty towards
the related goods in the market, then influence the brand equity of
products from different countries. This study provides a better
understanding of country-of-origin effects on consumer behaviour, and will
help relevant domestic and foreign firms improve their business strategies
in China.

摘要: We examined variables relevant to food products marketing in foreign
markets: perceptions of a product's country-of-origin (which may provide a
"halo effect" if positive), and consumers' tendencies to favor local vs.
imported goods for ideological reasons (consumer ethnocentrism). These
were explored in the context of marketing research related to expanding
U.S. dairy in China. An online survey of consumers (N = 505) in Beijing,
Shanghai, and Guangzhou showed that ethnocentrism was below scale
mid-point and did not vary across cities. Overall, higher purchase intention
was associated with more favorable evaluations of the U.S., and with lower
ethnocentrism, although there were some differences by region. Theoretical
and practical implications are discussed.

摘要: Vaccine hesitancy is a global health threat which may hinder the
widespread acceptance of several COVID-19 vaccines. Following the
collection of 2470 responses from an anonymous questionnaire distributed
between October and November 2020 across Israel, we analyzed the
responses of physicians, life science graduates (biology, virology, chemistry,
etc.), and the general public to whether they would obtain a COVID-19
vaccine with particular vaccine characteristics such as vaccine country of
origin, technology, side effect profile, efficacy, and other attributes.
Physicians and life science graduates were least likely to accept a vaccine
based on mRNA technology (30%) while the general population seemed to
adopt any vaccine technology if the declared efficacy is above 90% and the
country of manufacturing is the USA/UK rather than China or Russia.
However, current inoculation rates in Israel far outpace our predicted rate.
Our results highlight the importance of tailored vaccine educational
campaigns based on population demographic details and specific vaccine
concerns.

摘要: Spartina alterniflora is a perennial herb native to the American Atlantic
coast and is the dominant plant in coastal intertidal wetlands. Since its
introduction to China in 1979, it has quickly spread along the coast and has
caused various hazards. To control the further spread of S. alterniflora in
China, we first reconstructed the history of the spread of S. alterniflora in its
invasion and origin countries. We found that S. alterniflora spreads from the
central coast to both sides of the coast in China, while it spreads from the
west coast to the east coast in America. Furthermore, by comparing 19
environmental variables of S. alterniflora in its invasion and origin countries,
it was found that S. alterniflora is more and more adaptable to the high
temperature and dry environment in the invasion country. Finally, we
predicted the suitable areas for this species in China and America using the
maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model and ArcGIS. Overall, through analysis on
the dynamic and trend of environmental characteristics during the invasion
of S. alterniflora and predicting its suitable area in the invasion area, it
guides preventing its reintroduction and preventing its further spread of
the species has been found. It has reference significance for studying other
similar alien plants and essential enlightening relevance to its invasion and
spread in similar areas.

摘要: Purpose - Aims to review, update, and extend the understanding of
country-of-origin (COO) effects in China. This involves examining the nature
and extent of the COO effect amongst urban Chinese consumers and the
impact of COO on actual purchase behaviour.
Design/methodology/approach - A questionnaire is used to collect COO
information from a sample of 432 Shanghai consumers and a consumer
panel is used to track the purchase behaviour of the same consumers over 6
months. Findings - First, Chinese consumers generally say they prefer to buy
local Chinese grocery brands. Second, Chinese consumers believe it is
important to buy local brands for a range of Chinese-style and
Western-style product categories. Third, however, the stated preference for
Chinese brands was generally not reflected in actual purchase behaviour.
Research limitations/implications - The results support the growing view
that Chinese consumers are not necessarily attracted to foreign brands.
However, the disparity between stated preferences and behaviour suggests
that there are other factors that may moderate the COO effect, such as
imperfect knowledge of which brands are local or foreign. Practical
implications - To capitalize on the stated preference for local brands, and to
address consumers' imperfect knowledge of which brands are local or
foreign, managers may benefit by promoting the Chinese origin of their
brands and by positioning their brands as being local. Originality/value - In
contrast to the experimental designs used in previous studies, actual
purchase data is measured here in a real-life setting. The study provides a
strong empirical update on the COO effect in China.

摘要: Food safety and quality certificates can be viewed as credence
characteristics because different actors (e.g. intermediaries, processors,
retailers, consumers) in the food supply chain are not able to observe the
quality of the audits in situ. This becomes more critical in the international
food trade as information asymmetries increase with time and distance and
the credibility of the standard behind the certificate may decrease as a
consequence. In this context, the aim of this study was to assess from a
global perspective the effect of country image on the perceived credibility
of food standards. Data were collected through an on-line survey during
Spring 2010. In total, responses provided by 301 practitioners from
developed and developing countries were analysed. Respondents were
asked to evaluate the credibility of food standards from eight countries
(Ghana, Italy, Australia, Mexico, China, UK, India and USA). Data were
analysed using descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-test and
Mann-Whitney U tests. Principal component analysis was used to
categorise groups of standards according to their perceived credibility. The
findings reveal that country image exerts a significant influence on
practitioners' credibility assessments of food standards. Standards from the
UK were perceived as the most credible whereas standards from China were
perceived as the least credible. Based on the results of this study, we discuss
some implications for food suppliers and policy makers.

摘要: Although a growing literature has investigated how animosity and
consumer ethnocentrism change customers' perceptions of foreign
products in developed markets, research examining these effects in
developing markets is scarce. Additionally, the role of country of origin on
such effects has received far less attention. The current paper is developed
to bridge these gaps. The primary objectives of this paper are to examine
whether the animosity and consumer ethnocentrism models that work in
the Western world could be applied into a developing market like Vietnam,
and whether these relationships are moderated by country of origin (USA
versus China). Data from 485 Vietnamese customers illustrate that most of
the main effects are significant except for the relationship between
ethnocentrism and product judgement, and the relationship between
cosmopolitanism and willingness to buy. Furthermore, out of the three
moderation effects, the influence of country of origin on the relationship
between ethnocentrism and willingness to buy is significant. The paper
concludes with theoretical and managerial implications, limitations, and
future research.

摘要: Purpose The production process of processed food products may
involve several countries. This multi-dimensionality of the country of origin
(COO) may affect consumer preferences for the products. We apply Case 2
best-worst scaling to measure Japanese consumers' preferences for three
dimensions of the COO of a vegetable juice product.
Design/methodology/approach The three dimensions of the COO include
these: the country where the raw materials of the product were grown (the
country of growing), the country where the raw materials were processed
(the country of processing) and the country where the food company
producing the product is headquartered (the country of the company).
Japan, Australia, Thailand and China are the countries considered for the
three COO-related attributes. Sixteen juice products (profiles) were created
from the three four-level attributes. A survey queried 416 consumers to
select the best and worst ones from among the three attribute levels shown
in each profile. Findings The average utility of the country of growing is the
highest among those of the three COO-related attributes. However,
consumers evaluate the country of growing as the least preferred among
the three attributes with respect to a country with a negative food quality
reputation. Originality/value This is the first Case 2 best-worst scaling study
to measure consumer preferences for the three dimensions of the COO of
processed food products. It suggests marketing strategies for domestic and
international juice companies.

标题: Using Twitter in crisis management for organizations bearing different
country-of-origin perceptions

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of
using Twitter on American stakeholders' crisis appraisal for organizations
originated from two foreign countries with distinctively different
perceptions. Design/methodology/approach - This study uses a 2 (medium:
Twitter vs news release)times2 (country-of-origin: China vs France) factorial
experiment. The participants (n=393) are recruited through the Amazon
Mechanical Turk system (Mturks). Findings - The findings suggest that using
Twitter substantially mitigates participants' negative evaluation of the
organization undergoing a crisis. Country-of-origin affects how individuals
perceive the organization after it has experienced a crisis. In addition,
participants' product involvement intensifies the reputational threat
specifically for the organization with a less favorable country-of-origin
perception. Originality/value - This study is one of the few empirically based
studies in international public relations research, using an experiment to
extrapolate the effects of social media and country-of-origin on consumers'
crisis appraisal. This investigation reinforces the need to consider social
media not just at the individual level, but also as a form of communication
that can have broader consequences at the organizational level. In addition,
it is important for company leaders to understand that the organization's
home country image may exacerbate the negative management outcomes
during a crisis. It is expected that this study yields theoretically indicative,
empirically informative, and culturally relevant results.

摘要: This research aims to update the factors influencing consumer
purchase of luxury goods and, more specifically, to consider the combined
effect of brand and country of origin (CoO) on the purchasing decision. This
article extends an exploratory phase constructed from qualitative data
previously gathered on this topic. The study includes administering a
questionnaire online in seven countries (China, France, India, Italy, Japan,
Russia, and the USA) to a total sample of 1102 respondents. The richness of
this research relates to the possibility of an intercultural analysis of the
results from seven countries. These results concern the differences in the
relative importance of components of the consumer decision-making
process in respect of the purchase of luxury and non-luxury goods: the
relative importance of CoO for consumers making purchasing decisions
relating to luxury goods; and the variation in consumers' decision-making
criteria depending on the maturity of the luxury market. This research
allows the authors to confirm, develop, and generalize results previously
obtained in the exploratory phase of their work. They are interesting in
terms of management recommendations for a company that wishes to
expand internationally in a geographic area covered by the study, since the
research found significant differences. The results of the research contribute
also to the theoretical controversy concerning the importance of CoO in the
consumer decision-making process. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights

标题: French consumer perception, preference of, and willingness to pay for
fresh fruit based on country of origin

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this study is to determine French consumer
perceptions and preferences for fresh fruit from different countries. French
consumer willingness to pay (WTP) for citrus fruit and the factors affecting
WTP are also determined.
Design/methodology/approach - An online consumer survey was
conducted in France to collect data on consumer perceptions and
preferences for fresh fruits from different countries. The contingent
valuation method is used to estimate consumer WTP for fresh citrus fruit. A
double hurdle model is used to determine the factors that have substantial
impact on consumer preferences.
Findings - Results show that fresh fruit from China was perceived as the
lowest quality, the least safe, and the cheapest among the fruit from various
countries. French consumers had the highest stated WTP for fresh fruit from
France, followed by fruit from Spain. In addition, consumer WTP for country
of origin varies by type of fruit.
Research limitations/implications - The contingent valuation method does
not require consumers to purchase the product being evaluated, which may
overestimate consumer stated WTP.
Practical implications - More domestically produced fresh fruit may be
provided to satisfy consumer demand for fruit produced in their own
countries. As second in consumer stated WTP, Spain should take advantage
of the lower price high quality perceptions of their fresh fruit to gain a
larger market share in France. Lower rated countries, such as China, Brazil,
and Israel, need to improve consumer perception of the fruit from their
countries to gain a better position in the fresh fruit market of France.
Originality/value - This is the first paper to present French consumer
perception of fresh fruit and WTP for citrus fruit from different countries.

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate whether and how
the effects of cognitive, sensory and affective brand associations on brand
love (a core driver of brand loyalty) differ by perceived brand origin
(domestic vs imported) and identity expressiveness (low vs high) in two
different national contexts. Design/methodology/approach The data for
this study were collected through an online survey in the US and China. A
total of 711 responses (n = 362 for the US, n = 349 for China) were used for
data analysis. A multiple-group structural equation modeling was used to
test the hypotheses. Findings Cognitive and sensory associations are
significant drivers of US consumers' brand love while affective associations
are important for Chinese consumers' brand love. Also, perceived brand
origin and identity expressiveness moderate the three brand
associations-brand love relationship. For US consumers, cognitive
associations significantly influence brand love for both domestic and
imported brands, but sensory associations are important for domestic
brand love. For Chinese consumers, affective associations significantly
influence brand love for both domestic and imported brands, but cognitive
associations are important for imported brand love. The impacts of the
three brand associations on brand love differ by the degree of identity
expressiveness. Originality/value This study contributes to the scarce
cross-cultural research on brand equity by testing the extended brand
equity model. The findings provide more specific, meaningful insights into
the role of perceived brand origin and identity expressiveness, leading to
more effective international brand management.

标题: The impact of consumer ethnocentrism and country of origin
sub-components for high involvement products on young Chinese
consumers' product assessments
来源出版物: Asia Pacific Journal of Marketing and Logistics
卷: 20
期: 4
页: 455-78
DOI: 10.1108/13555850810909759
出版年: 2008
摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of country
of origin (COO) sub-components (i.e. design, assembly and parts), as well as
the extent to which consumer ethnocentrism tendencies interact with these
COO sub-components for young Chinese consumers with regards to
product quality assessments and purchase intentions.
Design/methodology/approach - A 2times2times2 factorial experimental
design was used to examine the effects of the three sub-components of
COO with two levels of sourcing location - Home (China) and Foreign
(Germany), for two high involvement products (an automobile and a digital
camera). Chinese students in China represented the sample of 272
respondents. MANOVA was used to examine the direct effects and
interactions of the three COO components, as well as ethnocentrism,
measured using the CETSCALE. Findings - It was found that the three COO
sub-components did not influence young Chinese consumers' evaluation of
product quality or purchase intentions. In addition, consumers' level of
ethnocentrism also did not have a direct effect on perceived product quality
or purchase intentions. There was only one statistically significant
interaction effect between ethnocentrism and country of parts for one of
the two products. As such, COO dimensions and young Chinese consumers'
ethnocentrism appears to have limited influence on their assessments of
product quality or purchase intentions. This may occur because young
Chinese consumers perceive that hybrid products are the norm for high
involvement products in China as these products are all these consumers
have experienced. Originality/value - The findings of this research dispute
the commonly held belief and evidence that sub-components of COO have
an impact on the perceptions of product quality and purchase intentions.
Young Chinese consumers may be different to consumers from western
countries because they have been extensively exposed to hybrid products.
Given the size and growth potential of China, young Chinese are an
important, under-researched segment within the Chinese market.

摘要: The process of manufacturing and marketing international products is
increasingly complex and especially for multinational corporations that
strive to lower production costs while adapting their products and services
to match local preferences. Localization of international business has been
shown to generate differing country of origin (COO) effects in terms of the
brand origin and country of production (COP) congruity issue. Both country
of production and brand origin may not be the same, which questions the
effect of incongruity on a brand, consumer ethnocentrism and localization
issues particularly when a well known brand are from a developed country
and COP is in a developing country. This study extends past studies on the
COO effect to examine whether a negative COP affects consumer product
perception and consumer purchase decision of a well-known brand.
Hypotheses are tested empirically against survey consumer data from the
UK (developed country) and People's Republic of China (developing
country) using Sony as a global brand. The main findings show that both
brand origin and COP are particularly important for consumers in a
developed country in their product evaluations while perceived brand
image of a developing country and price are key factors for consumers in a
developing country. In addition, knowledge of the extent of consumer
ethnocentrism can be a major determinant for branding decisions related to
using product information cues about country of production and/or an
international brand image. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

标题: Exploring luxury brand country of origin impact on purchasing
behaviors in India

摘要: Purpose - Luxury brands' marketing efforts have traditionally focussed
on developed nations since that has comprised the majority of consumer
demand. However, double-digit growth in developing nations such as India
and China, have attracted the attention of most luxury brand managers.
Using cue utilization theory, the authors conducted a qualitative study in
two phases comprised of first, focus group discussions (FGD), structured
observations (SO) and second, In-Depth Interviews (IDI) to understand the
effects of country of origin (COO) on Indian consumers' current day
purchasing behaviors with luxury products. The paper aims to discuss these
issues. Design/methodology/approach - Using cue utilization theory, the
authors conducted a qualitative study in two phases comprised of first, FGD,
SO and second, IDI to understand the effects of COO on Indian consumers'
current day purchasing behaviors with luxury products. A conceptual
framework has been developed that should help luxury brands formulate
marketing strategies for this booming market. Findings - Further, this study
found that COO affects the exploration of luxury brands and this process is
carried out digitally and primarily with friends. Luxury brand managers can
insert detailed information about COO on web sites and can understand the
keywords used in the search engines to facilitate consumers using
appropriate consideration data. This research also found that COO is
compared on the basis of quality, features and innovation. Research
limitations/implications - The results of this study are only from one
emerging country, i.e., India. Similar studies should be carried out in other
emerging nations. Additionally, developed countries can also carry out
comprehensive research in this domain as their behavior is also changing
for COO and luxury brands. Originality/value - This insight can be used by
the brand managers and they can develop apps and web sites that would
help the consumers to compare the COO for their products. Additionally,
this research found that COO helps the luxury consumers to evaluate the
brands and how they associate it with consumer images. Luxury brand
managers need to be conscious when their countries products/ brands have
been rated low by the consumers as it could result in consumers simply
discarding them from their consideration set.

摘要: A Red List assessment is insufficient to determine priorities for ex situ
conservation in large genera such as Rhododendron, where there may be
hundreds of taxa in any one Red List category. We have utilised an analysis
of the geographic origins of 1 215 taxa of Rhododendron (Ericaceae) as a
method to prioritise Red List taxa for ex situ conservation. This analysis
includes descriptions of distribution and endemism by country of origin,
analysis of the incidence of the 715 Red List taxa by country of origin, and
determination of the extent to which taxa from each country of origin are in
cultivation. We determined that of 30 countries of origin and a 'Europe'
aggregate, 24 origins contain Red List taxa. Of those 24 origins, 17 origins
and 'Europe' have greater than 75 % of Red List taxa 'in cultivation', as
defined in this study, so that Target 8 of the Global Strategy for Plant
Conservation has theoretically been met. However, for some of these
origins the number of each taxon held 'in cultivation' is very low and genetic
diversity is likely to be poor. The remaining six countries of origin have less
than 75 % of Red List Rhododendron taxa recorded 'in cultivation'
(Indonesia (28 %), Papua New Guinea (29 %), Malaysia (59 %), China (60 %),
Japan (62 %) and Solomon Islands (0 %)). Analysis of a set of Red List factors
and 'not in cultivation' factors reveals that Red List taxa from Indonesia,
China and Papua New Guinea should take priority for ex situ conservation.

摘要: This paper looks at the origins of the British tea industry of India from
the standpoint of colonial and semicolonial involvement in, respectively,
British India and Qing China. The imposition of the tea industry in Assam
was integrally tied to the wars in East Asia fought in order to open markets
for the movement of opium and other commodities. British officials
championed both policies in the name of modern economic progress,
liberalizing trade with the Qing and establishing a productive industry in
Assam. The agricultural science of political economy aimed to extract the
value of various objects which could then be united in a land hitherto
considered a wasteland. Plants, soil and labor were each viewed as
isolatable things whose values were objective and calculable. Such static
representation, however, was already belied by the dynamic process of
gathering and transporting these "things" across the vast and unevenly
developed regions of Asia, ultimately valorizing them as a breakfast drink
commodity enjoyed worldwide. The origins of the Assam tea plantations,
mirroring developments elsewhere, relied upon spatio-economic
connections that force us to reevaluate how the specific histories of British
India, Qing China and Southeast Asia are inseparably linked.

标题: Investigating firm heterogeneity in country-of-origin cluster location
choice decisions
来源出版物: MULTINATIONAL BUSINESS REVIEW

摘要: Purpose This paper aims to analyse which firm-level characteristics
drive their location decisions when investing in a foreign country. Focusing
on origin clusters, the authors will study the potential influence of the home
country context and, in particular, the impact of firm-level factors, both
investor- and investment-related, underlying heterogeneity in their location
choice decisions.
Design/methodology/approach The empirical analysis draws on data
gathered from mainland Chinese MNEs that have invested in Germany
between 2005 and 2013 (269 firms). The authors chose a single host
(Germany) and a single home (China) country for their representativeness
and for methodological reasons to control for country effects. The authors
used a multinomial logit model to assess the effects of the independent
variables on the probability that each of the three location possibilities
would be selected.
Findings The results suggest that investors preferring co-location in origin
clusters have distinct structural and strategic characteristics. From a more
structural point of view, Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) undertaken
by smaller firms and those without prior experience in the EU prefer an area
where there are other Chinese investors. From a more strategic perspective,
these FDI flows are more likely to tap into industry agglomerations when
the investors' objective is strategic asset seeking, and they have less
knowledge-intensive investments.
Practical implications The findings may be of great practical value to
practitioners and policymakers. Knowledge of the advantages and
disadvantages of the types of agglomeration networks can help managers
to balance the rewards and risks in their decision-making and to select a
suitable development path for their FDIs. For policymakers, an
understanding of the structure and formation of different groups of firms in
one location and the characteristics of investors who may enter the location
can help them to improve their regulatory work and to develop policies to
attract investments, thereby enhancing local economic development and
community stability.
Originality/value The research shifts the emphasis of the location choice
decision beyond just where to locate toward with whom to collocate. It also
contributes to the growing research on emerging market multinationals by
providing further insight into understanding of FDI location behavior by
firms from emerging economies.

摘要: Marketed as the nugget in the seafood trade, the belly flap of the
catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) is a residual portion with minimal value due to
its elevated fat content and unsightly black peritoneal membrane. To
ameliorate these shortcomings, a variety of marinated and breaded nugget
formulations were developed and screened in the laboratory. Four of these
were evaluated further for organoleptic traits using consumer sensory
panels. Next, an in-store conjoint survey was conducted in 13 supermarkets
in eight cities in the southern United States to elicit consumers' preferences
for price ($3.28/kg, $10.12/kg, $16.51/kg), color of breading (light, medium,
dark), cooking method (fried, baked), and country of origin (United States,
China). Cluster analysis suggested three consumer segments: a
price-sensitive segment, a U.S.-origin segment, and a dark-breading
segment. Membership in the segments was related to age, ethnicity, and
education. Unusually strong preferences for higher prices and country of
origin were investigated in detail.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of
ethnocentrism in attenuating the negative country of origin effect and
latecomer brands. The literature has established the importance of the
ldquocountry of originrdquo effect, and this study compares consumers in
the Asian emerging markets to developed consumers' response to cars
from China, India and Russia. Design/methodology/approach - Data on
consumers' willingness to purchase cars from emerging markets such as
China, India and Russia were collected from 3,201 respondents in those
three emerging markets and in the three most important Western car
markets, the USA, the UK and Germany. The study employed a
choice-based conjoint analysis. Findings - The results of this study
confirmed the hypothesised ethnocentrism in the emerging markets with a
strong preference for their own latecomer brands (Great Wall, Tata and
AvtoVAZ, respectively). Developed markets in contrast are more sceptical of
the Chinese, Indian and Russian car brands, but there is nonetheless
substantial potential, especially with consumers who have previously
bought latecomer brands from Asia. Utility values per brand, price,
brand-partnership, product features, warranties and also place of
manufacturing/assembly have been calculated in the
study. Originality/value - This paper should prove valuable to academic
researchers in establishing strong consumer preferences in emerging
markets for their own products, and in establishing the potential of
latecomer brands in developed markets.

摘要: Triggered by a territorial dispute as well as historical animosity, a
nationwide civilian boycott of Japanese products took place in China in the
summer of 2012. Using detailed data on vehicle sales in four major Chinese
cities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Nanjing), this study investigates the
impact of boycotts on sales and advertising effectiveness of products from
different countries of origin. The boycott dramatically reduced the market
share of Japanese brands and benefitted Chinese and non-Japanese foreign
brands. Consumer switching to other brands accounted for the majority of
the loss in sales. Advertising became less effective for Japanese brands
during the boycott but more effective for non-Japanese brands, especially
at the parent-brand level (e.g., Toyota) than sub-brand level (e.g., Camry).
The sales impacts were strongest in Nanjing, the city that had the most
atrocious war experience with Japan during the Battle of Nanjing in 1937,
and weakest in Beijing, where local government agencies explicitly
discouraged public demonstrations. Finally, although the decline in sales of
Japanese brands did not vary by quality or production location, competing
non-Japanese brands that were had better quality or were manufactured
locally benefitted more.

摘要: Although consumer preference for genetically modified (GM) food
and country of origin (COO) labeling has been studied extensively, little
research has examined the interaction effect between these two attributes.
Previous research has demonstrated the importance of the interaction
effect between food quality attributes. Moreover, production and
international trade of GM crops are increasing simultaneously. As both
mandatory GM and COO labeling can be used as non-tariff barriers, there is
a need to better understand the interaction effect of GM and COO
attributes on consumer preference. This study uses mall intercept surveys to
investigate Chinese consumer preference for COO and GM foods, as well as
the impact of COO on consumer preference for GM foods. A mixed logit
model is estimated to incorporate the preference heterogeneity and
correlation in the alternatives of a choice experiment (mixed logit + error
component model). Results show consumers have a negative willingness to
pay for GM orange juice from all countries, but the discounts associated
with GM orange juice vary greatly; the discount for US GM juice is the
lowest followed by that from Australia, China, Brazil, and Israel.
Furthermore, consumer preference is more heterogeneous for GM juice
than for conventional juice, implying more uncertainty regarding GM food
quality from different countries.

摘要: This article presents the results of a survey of 201 Thai and 250
Canadian male consumers. In this study, consumer judgements of products
designed, parts procured from and assembled in both highly and newly
industrializing countries were obtained. The results show that Thai
respondents are less favorable towards products made in newly
industrializing South Eastern Asian countries in spite of being more familiar
with products made there. Affluent and educated Thai respondents more
likely appreciate products made in highly industrialized countries. While the
evaluation of highly industrialized countries and China relates positively to
familiarity with their products, this relationship was stronger among Thai
consumers than among the Canadians. Thai products are perceived to be
superior from an economic point of view, but they are judged to be inferior
on performance, quality, and originality. Canadian respondents are more
negative towards Thai products with respect to their performance, quality,
and originality. (C) 2006 Published by Elsevier Inc.

标题: The Impact of National Stereotypes towards Country-of-Origin
Images on Purchase Intention: Empirical Evidence from Countries of the Belt

摘要: The purpose of this paper is to explore how the country-of-origin
image mediates the effect of national stereotypes along two dimensions of
perceived competence and warmth, on consumers' consumption behaviors,
especially in today's environment, the capricious COVID-19 and the
deepening and expanding "The Belt and Road" initiative. Research design,
data, and methodology: After collecting 1500 primary data from twelve
countries along the 21st - Century Maritime Silk Road, this paper conducts
ANOVA and SEM in SPSS25.0 and AMOS 24.0 separately to analyze
measurements, structural models, and hypotheses via using 1277 final
samples. The mediation results illustrate the asymmetric dominance of the
two dimensions of national stereotypes, indicating that the
country-of-origin image shows the complementary mediation in the effect
of perceived competence on purchase intention; whereas, the
country-of-origin image holds the indirect-only mediation in the impact of
perceived warmth on purchase intention. The results of the moderation
show that the effect of country-of-origin image on purchase intention is
more significant for consumers who perceive COVID-19 in China to be of
lesser severity than those who believe it to be of higher severity. Eased on
the paper's results, some implications for practice and theory are
highlighted.

摘要: We examine whether an equality of organic standards (EqualOrganic)
information treatment impacts Taiwanese consumers' food preference and
purchasing behavior. EqualOrganic implies that regardless of products'
country. of-origin (COO), organic certifications are based on the same
production regulation and managerial processes. We apply discrete choice
experiments combined with a propensity score matching approach that
ensures structural sample balance between EqualOrganic-treated and
non-treated consumers. The analysis is based on fresh sweet pepper
purchase decisions of 800 Taiwanese consumers. Results indicate that
participants' product choice was sensitive to EqualOrganic information
treatment, though different than expected. Information on the equality of
organic standards significantly further increased the purchase likelihood for
Taiwan-origin organic products, while the opposite effect is detected for
Chinese organic products. In addition, we observe an increase in the utility
of the opt-out option in the information treatment group. Provision of
information thus failed to assure consumers about the equality of organic
standards. Instead there is some indication that it eased accessibility of
pre-existing doubts about the reliability and trustworthiness of products
originating from China. We discuss these findings from a policy and
marketing perspective.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate how companies
entering the Chinese market integrate brand image and country image,
how they redefine this integration in the corporate rebranding process
adopted to develop the new market, and what impact they achieve in terms
of commercial and economic results. Design/methodology/approach - The
research is based on the analysis of the cases of Alpha and Beta. Alpha is a
multinational company specialized in the production of chocolate, while
Beta is one of the world's largest companies in the tyre industry. These
cases are emblematic for the way the two companies combine brand
attributes and country image attributes. Findings - The case analysis shows
that: initially in the corporate rebranding strategy defined in China, brand
image is created independently from the country image; the impact of the
integration on brand attitude is sought by producing a cross-fertilization
between the meaning of brand attitude and of country image attitude; the
level of integration (country-of-manufacture, country-of-design) embodies
the aim of the integration itself; and the differentiation of the country image
for different brands passes through a phase of focalization.
Originality/value - The study identifies practices that managers can consider
in the definition of the integration strategies involving brand image and
country images that accompany their rebranding processes in the Chinese
market. The analysis of these practices together with the results may help
managers to arrive at pondered decisions concerning integration.

摘要: We examine the impact of HPWS on the attitudes and retention of
Chinese employees in multinational enterprises (MNEs) operating in China.
More specifically, we examine the extent to which the degree of HPWS and
the impact of these practices differ according to the country of origin of the
MNE. We surveyed a sample of 410 Chinese employees currently working in
Western and Asian MNEs. The findings indicate significant 'country of
origin' effects, where employees of Western and Asian MNEs perceive
different levels of HPWS are in operation in their respective organisations.
Employee trust, job satisfaction and affective commitment are all important
factors in the retention of Chinese employees of MNEs, with high levels of
commitment being the most significant factor. However, the relative impact
of these factors on employee retention differs by country of origin of the
MNE.

摘要: This study examines the roles of country of origin in diners'
perceptions of a cuisine in relation to the moderating effects of culinary and
institutional factors. Using the survey data on 247 adults in Seoul, South
Korea, this study finds that the country of origin shows substantial impacts
on diners' perceptions of a cuisine. Korea, as a country of origin, functions
negatively, whereas China, Japan, and France/Italy assume positive roles.
Noteworthy is that the effects of the country of origin are moderated by
culinary or institutional factors in accordance with a country's context.
Interestingly, in the case of Korea, where the country's image is weak,
culinary factors, such as menu development, help overcome the negative
effects of the country of origin. Therefore, it is proposed that the dynamics
underlying country of origin and culinary and institutional factors shape a
wide range of formulae to transform diners' perceptions of a cuisine.

摘要: This research examines how consumers (N ¼ 627) from the three
largest world economies, the US, China and Japan, perceive two major
apparel brand image dimensions (design and workmanship) in conjunction
with brand familiarity for country-of-origin (COO) apparel brands. Using the
summary construct theory, this study examines how consumers from three
major markets perceive COO brands from five different countries (US,
France, Italy, Japan and China). Although results showed design and
workmanship to have significant influence on consumers’ brand attitude
for most COO brands, these two dimensions did not necessarily determine
brand attitude for all COO brands. The relationship between brand
familiarity and brand attitude was strong for almost all COO brands across
the three sample groups. However, consumers from the three markets
perceived and evaluated COO brands differently. Only a few cases of
interaction between design and workmanship on familiarity were found for
the US and Chinese groups. The results offer information to global brands
concerning differences in COO brand image perceptions within these
respective consumer markets.

摘要: The globalization of trade and the increasingly mixed identities of
consumers suggest that researchers on "country of origin" (COO) should go
beyond nationality. Thus, we propose the "ethnicity of origin" (EOO)
construct as an alternative to COO. We focus on a privileged area of
investigation - fashion - and operationalize the construct through three
variables: the designer's birthplace, educational background and
headquarters location. We conduct a cross-national experimental factorial
analysis on a sample of 980 respondents from China, France and Italy.
Results suggest that the three variables have an impact on brand
evaluation. The indirect impact on willingness to buy (WBUY) and
willingness to recommend (WREC) is also supported. However, correlations
vary according to the ethnicity of the consumer. More specifically, our
results stress that ethnicity cues have a strong influence on potential
Chinese customers. Moreover, consumer ethnocentrism acts as an
important moderator of the relationship between ethnicity cues and
perceived brand image evaluation. EOO cues should be taken into account
as strategic branding levers when defining marketing strategies in the
fashion industry. Findings support our suggestion that studies on COO
should address a situational focused approach to ethnicity.

摘要: For a long time, most of cultivated pears native to East Asia have been
assigned to different species: Pyrus pyrifolia, P. bretschneideri and P.
ussuriensis. A few cultivars commercially cultivated only in Xinjiang Province
of China belong to P. sinkiangensis which has been proved to be a
hybridization origin involving P. pyrifolia and P. communis. The majority of
P. ussuriensis is cultivated in northeastern China and a minority in
northeastern Japan. Its fruit with a small size needs ripening to become soft
and edible. Cultivars of P. pyrifolia are mainly grown in South China and
Japan, and are called Chinese sand pears in China and Japanese pears in
Japan, respectively. Cultivars of P. bretschneideri (Chinese white pears) are
cultivated in northern China. Chinese sand pears, Chinese white pears and
Japanese pears are eaten at a crisp stage right after harvest or storage, and
their origin is still controversial. Using RAPD, AFLP and SSR markers, we
found that Chinese white pears were affinitive to Chinese sand pears and
the majority of Japanese pears did not cluster together with Chinese sand
pears which have been treated as the same germplasm with Japanese pears.
A new nomenclature was proposed for the cultivar group of Chinese white
pears: P. pyrifolia White Pear Group to replace the previously misused P.
bretschneideri. Recently, we developed a new DNA marker in pears,
retrotransposon-based sequence-specific amplification polymorphism
(SSAP) marker. Based on this marker, we found that nearly all Asian pear
species and cultivar groups experienced hybridization, and originated from
five primitive genepools. Cultivated P. ussuriensis was proven to have
originated from an interspecific hybridization between wild P. ussuriensis
and cultivated P. pyrifolia, which had once been thought to be
domesticated directly from wild P. ussuriensis. During the development of
P. pyrifolia cultivars the gene introgression occurred from P. pashia to P.
pyrifolia in southwestern China, while in northern China, the gene
introgression happened from P. ussuriensis to P. pyrifolia. The knowledge of
origins of cultivated Asian pears will be of help for pear cultivar
improvement.

标题: The relevance of retailer country-of-origin to consumer store choice:
evidence from China

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the relevance of
retailer country-of-origin (COO) on consumers' actual choice between
foreign and domestic retailers. It explores two basic issues regarding the
relevance of COO, first to assess consumer perceptions regarding the
importance of retailer COO (PIO) and the importance of supporting
domestic retailers (PISD) in store choice decisions. The second is to analyse
the influence of these factors on store choice decisions. Relative influence
of PIO and PISD (compared to the retail mix factors) was also evaluated.
Design/methodology/approach - Data were collected through a consumer
survey targeting grocery consumers in a second-tier city in China. Factor
analysis and binary probit models were used to analyse the data.
Findings - The authors found that a considerable proportion of respondents
perceive retailer COO and being supportive of domestic retailers as
important factors when choosing between foreign and domestic retailers.
Interestingly, results of probit analysis showed that consumers' perceived
importance of retailer COO (PIO) did not have a significant impact on
consumer store choice behaviour. In contrast, consumers' perceived
importance of supporting domestic retailers has a negative effect on
consumers' choice of foreign retailers. Results of the relative contribution of
retail mix factors and COO variables showed that generally, COO variables
are as important as retail mix factors.
Originality/value - This study is one of the few empirical studies on the
relevance of retailer COO and it focused on two basic issues concerning the
consumer perceptions regarding the importance of retailer COO, seldom
studied previously. This study makes a significant contribution to the COO
literature not only because it focuses on the retailing context but also by
providing a fresh perspective.

摘要: The aim of this study was to verify what factors influence the
likelihood of wine choice in a developing wine market (China). Previous
studies have shown that country of origin is either the first or second most
important choice cue for a product such as wine, with consumers relying on
country perception and associations. In this study, the same respondents
completed a repeated discrete choice experiment, with simulated wine
bottles on a shelf, to test the effectiveness of different messages about
Australia, a relatively new supplier of wine to this market. In the first
experiment, messages were shown in an advertorial format as a way of
building consumer associations. The second experiment assessed
messages' memory decay after approximately ten days. Wine quality ratings
were the most important attribute to influence choice, while country of
origin messages increased the relative attribute importance for country,
which practically doubled for most of the articles. The messages about
clean environment and the taste of the wine were the most effective in
increasing choice of wine in both the short and medium term. Consumer
choices changed overtime and the results provided evidence regarding the
retest reliability of repeated choice experiments. Respondents of the
control group became considerably more price sensitive in their wine
choice in Stage 2. Overall, repeated discrete choice experiment
methodology provided useful insights into the decay effect of advertorial
messages over a 10 day period and can be applied in any relatively high
involvement product type in specific markets. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All

标题: Country of origin as a determinant of young Europeans' buying
attitudes - marketing implications

摘要: Research background: Country of origin and brand image are among
the main factors influencing consumer buying decisions. The phenomenon
known as the Country of Origin Effect (COE) refers to the influence of a
country's image on consumer product evaluations and the perception of
brands originating from specific countries. The COE describes consumer
attitudes towards certain product categories and is connected with the
perception of quality of such products manufactured in particular markets.
The changing market conditions and proliferation of hybrid products cause
certain problems for consumers who find it increasingly difficult to identify
the country of origin of specific products and face a dilemma whether a
product manufactured in China is of equal quality as a product of the same
brand, but manufactured in France.
Purpose of the article: The main purpose of the paper is to identify the
young Europeans' attitudes towards the country of origin of purchased
products. An attempt has been made to answer two research questions:
firstly, whether are young Europeans guided by stereotypes associated with
the country of origin of specific product categories in their conscious
buying decisions? Secondly, do young European consumers attach higher
value to a product's brand than its county of origin?
Methods: The analysis has been based on literature studies and empirical
data collected in MO different period of time 2008 and 2015 among 1362
respondents (in 2008) and 1125 respondents (in 2015) from eight European
countries (Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Poland, Portugal,
Spain and Great Britain). In the exploratory empirical study, the author of
the paper used two research methods: PAPI in 2008 (Riper and Pen Personal
Interview) and CAWI in 2015 (Computer Assisted Web Interview).
Findings & Value added: The study results reveal that in some commies.
namely Poland and the Czech Republic, young consumers are guided in
their deliberate buying choices by certain mental schematics perpetuated.
tOr example, in the mass media (the best wine comes Ilona France, best
watches are male in Switzerland, and superior quality cars originate from
Germany). Respondents representing other nationalities showed more
support for domestic products. By far, the most ethnocentric in their
choices turned out to be the French who in almost all product categories
showed preferences for products originating from their country.
Furthermore, the empirical study showed that with respect to different
product categories young European consumers attach more importance to
a product's brand than its country of origin.

摘要: This study's aim was to investigate the associations among narcissism,
Machiavellianism, callous and unemotional traits, and cyberbullying
perpetration among 1,637 adolescents (Mage = 13.53 years, 48% girls
overall) from China, India, and Japan. Adolescents completed
questionnaires on the dark triad of personality traits, and cyberbullying and
face-to-face bullying perpetration. Narcissism and callous and unemotional
traits were related to cyberbullying perpetration for Chinese and Indian
adolescents, as was Machiavellianism for Indian adolescents. Gender did
not moderate these associations. Our findings suggest the need to monitor
the dark triad of personality traits and for prevention programmes against
cyberbullying to consider the cultural context.

摘要: Recent labeling policies in developed countries place new focus on
origin labeling, especially country of origin labeling, for a variety of food
products. It is not clear if this new emphasis on origin is the result of more
ethnocentric consumer preferences for food. We measure consumer
preferences for country of origin in four different international locations
and one domestic control location using a conjoint experiment to test the
null hypotheses that consumers do not have stronger own-country
preferences. In addition, we compare the relative importance of consumer
preferences for origin to their preferences for genetically modified food and
pesticide-free production using attribute coefficients from within location
ordered probit models. The study was conducted in China, France, Niger,
and the United States. We find consumers tend to prefer food from their
own location indicating ethnocentric tendencies do play a role in shaping
country-of-origin preferences. Country of origin is generally less important
to consumers than genetically modified food content and pesticide use in
food production.

摘要: The effects of organics and country of origin (COO) on consumers'
food choices have mostly been investigated separately. In order to
investigate the joint effect of these two credence quality cues and when
they influence choice, a choice-based conjoint (CBC) experiment was
conducted in Germany, France, Denmark, China and Thailand. In each
country, a sample of about 1000 consumers participated after being
screened for responsibility for their household's shopping, consumption of
the case product, and knowledge of organic food. A full factorial design
with four COOS, three different organic label conditions and three price
levels gave 36 different choice options. They were bundled in 12 choice sets
of three alternatives, which were presented in random order. The product
was either drinking milk or pork chops (random assignment). The study
revealed a general preference for organics over conventional and for
domestic over imported products, with exceptions to the latter in emerging
markets. Among imported foods, there is a tendency to prefer foods from
economically developed over less developed countries, also in the two
Asian countries. Adding consistent quality cues have a decreasing marginal
effect, but a favourable cue can compensate for an unfavourable one. The
extent to which consumer choice is influenced by organic labels and COO
depends on environmental concern, trust in countries as producers of
organic food, and ethnocentrism.

标题: Assessing Korean consumers' valuation for domestic, Chinese, and US
rice Importance of country of origin and food miles information

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to assess Korean consumers'
valuation for domestic rice and imported rice from China and the USA.
Design/methodology/approach - In order to identify Korean consumers'
willingness to pay (WTP) for domestic, Chinese, and US rice, the
non-hypothetical experimental auction approach (i.e. the random nth price
auction) was utilized. Auction participants were randomly assigned to three
treatments: no labelling information, country of origin labelling
information, and food miles labelling information to analyze the effects of
differing labelling information on consumers' valuation.
Findings - The results suggest that Korean consumers have a positive
perception of and preference for domestic rice, particularly when country of
origin information is provided. However, food miles information alone may
not help consumers to distinguish between domestic and Chinese rice.
Originality/value - The marketing of imported rice will increase since Korea
will be opening its rice market under tariffication after 2015. Therefore, it is
necessary for Korea and other exporting countries to identify the feasibility

摘要: Despite growing evidence about differences in the attitudes and
behaviors of consumers in emerging and developed markets, there is little
research on the differences in country of origin (COO) effects on their
evaluation, behavioral intentions (BIs), and actual purchase of imported
products. This paper introduces a new conceptual framework incorporating
consumer ethnocentrism (CET), materialism (MAT), and value consciousness
(VC) to hypothesize several differences in the influence of COO effects on
consumers from developed and emerging markets. A web-based study with
1752 consumers in four countries representing two developed markets (the
UK and the USA) and two emerging markets (China and India) shows
significant differences in the moderating influence of CET, MAT, and VC on
the effects of COO on the evaluations and BIs for a fictitious passenger car
brand, and on the actual choice of car brands owned by them. The findings
highlight the importance of looking beyond CET at other relevant
psychographic variables to understand the differences in motivations
underlying consumer perceptions and behavior towards imported
products. Journal of International Business Studies (2011) 42, 285-306.

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the consistency over
time of customer attitude towards country-of-origin in a transitional
economy.
Design/methodology/approach A single cross-sectional study in
Uzbekistan was carried out, with n=527, consisting of 374 street and 153
online surveys, replicating a study carried out 20 years earlier.
Findings Whilst consumers still perceive products from advanced countries
to have higher quality, quality perception in relation to country-of-origin
information is dynamic and transitional countries can improve the
perception of consumers towards their national brands.
Research limitations/implications This study was carried out in Tashkent,
the capital of Uzbekistan, the most populous of the Central Asian republics.
Researchers may wish to extend it by examining COO effects in other
transitional economies, and additionally to examine the effect of
country-of-brand origin.
Practical implications Customer perceptions and attitudes take a long-time
to evolve. This cross-sectional study showed that the COO perception of
China has improved significantly and the perception towards the products
produced locally in Uzbekistan has also slightly improved across all
categories. Strong brands can contribute to the image of the country.
Transition countries need to take appropriate marketing actions to cultivate
positive perception through innovation and branding.
Originality/value Prior research has been extended by adding new product
categories such as mobile phones, computers, washing machines and air
conditioners. This research shows that government officials and exporters in
developing countries should prioritise strengthening their country's image
to help domestic marketers export and attract foreign investors. The
authors provide insights for marketers to understand the impact of product
country-of-origin on customer purchase intention and its antecedents in
transitional economies, such as Uzbekistan.

标题: The effects of brand origin and country-of-manufacture on
consumers' institutional perceptions and purchase decision-making

摘要: Purpose Industry-wide crises involving consumer products place
consumers at risk. Consumers rely on institutions that constrain corporate
practice and control product quality to reduce risk. As institutions vary by
country, country-of-origin (COO) acts as a salient cue for consumers to
identify institutional quality and thus evaluate risk when making purchase
decisions. However, in the era of globalisation, identification of institutional
quality becomes complex as global value chains involve different countries
such as brand origin (BO) and country-of-manufacture (COM). Therefore,
this research investigates how BO and COM individually and jointly affect
consumers' institutional perceptions and subsequent purchase
decision-making in the presence of systemic risk.
Design/methodology/approach This research includes three studies (n =
764) employing surveys and choice modelling experiments with samples
from China and the USA. Findings The results show that BO and COM relate
to different institutional perceptions. BO evokes perceptions of legitimacy
and the regulatory environment, while COM evokes perceptions of the
normative and the regulatory environment. The combination of BO and
COM determines how institutional quality is communicated and further
affects consumers' legitimacy perceptions, preferences and willingness to
pay a price premium. Originality/value This research contributes to
understanding the effect of BO and COM in the context of complex value
chains from an institutional perspective. It also provides implications for
leveraging complex COO cues with BO and COM information to improve
consumers' institutional perceptions.

摘要: In this paper, we investigated adoptive parent-child relationship
quality as a function of the adopted children's country of origin,
pre-adoption adversity, age at placement, age, gender, and special
healthcare needs status. From the 2007 National Survey of Adoptive Parents
(NSAP; N = 2089), we identified 1906 families that had adopted children
from the US foster care system, US private agencies, China, Guatemala,
Russia and South Korea. Regression analysis showed that when country of
origin was the sole predictor, adoption from the US private agencies (beta
= .18, p < .001), China (beta = .21, p < .001), Russia (beta = .06, p < .05) and
South Korea (beta = .07, p < .05) predicted higher parent-child relationship
quality score than adoption from the US foster care system (referent) (R-2 =
5.59%). Adoption from Guatemala was not different from adoption from the
US foster care system in parent-child relationship quality (beta = -.01,
p > .10). In the absence of country of origin, being a boy (beta = -.10, p
< .05), older age at placement (beta = -.20, p < .001), older age (beta = -.11,
p < .001), having special healthcare needs (beta = -.19, p < .001), and more
pre-adoption adversity (beta = -.08, p < .05) all significantly predicted lower
parent-child relationship quality scores (R-2 = 17.56%). When country of
origin and the above variables were entered into the regression model
simultaneously, being a boy, age at placement, age, and special healthcare
needs status remained significant. However, none of the countries of origin
except China (beta = .07, p < .05) remained significant in predicting higher
parent-child relationship score. Our findings showed that the unique
circumstances that fueled the availability of children from different
countries to become available for adoption played some role in
parent-child relationship quality. However, the adopted children's gender,
age at placement, age, and special healthcare needs were more predictive
of post-adoption parent-child relationship quality. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All

摘要: Purpose Country of origin is a well-studied topic for developed
countries that have a favourable image. However, how country of origin
image affects the consumers of an emerging country on a frontier market
with high uncertainty avoidance still needs to be shed light. Therefore, this
study investigated the relationship of country of origin image with
consumer purchase intention through consumer uncertainty. The study
further explored the conditional effect of brand image between country of
origin and consumer uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach The data
for this study was collected from 400 Pakistani consumers. As this study
assessed purchase intentions and consumer uncertainty related to high
technology products of China, therefore, the consumers of the Huawei
brand were selected. Findings The findings revealed a negative influence of
country of origin image on consumer purchase intentions both directly and
indirectly through consumer uncertainty. Furthermore, the positive brand
image of high tech products was found to moderate the effect of country of
origin image on consumer uncertainty. Originality/value This study is the
first of its kind that explores the intervening role of consumer uncertainty
between country of origin image and consumer purchase intention in an
emerging market. In addition, the study highlights the importance of strong
brand image as it buffers consumer uncertainty because of stereotypes.

摘要: SARS-CoV-2 is the novel member of coronavirus responsible for the
worldwide pandemic COVID-19, affecting all types of people. In this
context, established research identified pregnant women as a susceptible
group of SARS-CoV-2 infection, although there is still limited data
regarding the real impact of COVID-19 in this group. With that purpose, we
conducted a systematic review describing the maternal-fetal results of
pregnant women infected by SARS-CoV-2, in aim to analyze the profile of
the obstetric patients according to the country of origin of the publication.
A total of 38 articles were included in this systematic review with 2670
patients from 7 countries, with 20 works published from China (52.6%). We
reported significative differences according to the median maternal age,
with Spain as the country with the highest age (34.6 years); The percentage
of tabaquism; proportion of symptomatic patients in the triage; type of
radiological exam (China and France conduct CT scans on all their patients
in comparison to the use of chest X-Ray in the rest of the countries studied);
percentages of C-sections (83.9% in China; 35.9% Spain, p < 0.001);
maternal mortality rate, proportion of patients who need treatments, the
use of antivirals, antibiotics, and anticoagulants as well as measurements of
the newborns. Perinatal results are favorable in the majority of countries,
with very low rates of vertical transmission in the majority of works. The
studies collected in this review showed moderate to high index of quality.
The different works describe the affectation during the first wave of the
pandemic, where the pregnant woman with SARS-CoV-2 infection is
generally symptomatic during the third trimester of gestation along with
other factors associated with worse prognosis of the disease, such as higher
age, body mass index, and further comorbidities developed during
pregnancy. In the obstetric patient, proportion of C-sections are elevated
together with prematurity, increasing maternal perinatal morbimortality.
Differences found between countries could be based on the proper profile
of the patient in each region, the period of the pandemic directly affecting
how it was managed, and the variations regarding in situ medical attention.

摘要: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a much-discussed
subject in the business world. The Internet has become one of the main
tools for CSR information disclosure, allowing companies to publicise more
information less expensively and faster than ever before. As a result,
corporations are increasingly concerned with communicating ethically and
responsibly to the diversity of stakeholders through the web. This paper
addresses the main question as whether CSR information disclosure on
corporate websites is influenced by country of origin and/or industry sector.
Analysing the websites of 127 corporations from emerging countries, such
as Brazil, Chile, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Thailand and South Africa, it
becomes evident that both country of origin and industry sector have a
significant influence over CSR information disclosure on the web
(CSRIDOW). Based on the data studied, country of origin has a stronger
influence over CSRIDOW than industry sector.

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of
consumer ethnocentrism and animosity on the importance of
country-of-origin in food product evaluation. It also tested the moderating
effect of purchase frequency. Design/methodology/approach Data were
collected from dairy consumers residing in China. The research model was
tested using structural equation modelling with AMOS. Findings The results
indicated that the importance of country-of-origin in product evaluation is
not necessarily driven by consumer ethnocentrism or animosity. Only
among frequent purchasers, a higher level of consumer ethnocentrism or
animosity can be associated with more importance of country-of-origin in
product evaluation. Originality/value Despite the significant role of
purchase frequency, this factor has been less considered in the existing
literature on consumer ethnocentrism and animosity. This study
represented an initial attempt to the role of purchase frequency in the
effects of consumer ethnocentrism and animosity on food product
evaluation. It revealed that purchase frequency should be adopted as a
moderating factor in future studies in this field.

摘要: In this study, a multiplex PCR detection method was developed to
identify the country of origin of Corbicula japonica (clams), a commercially
important bivalve in Asia. Specific primer sets that have a single nucleotide
mismatch at the 3 terminus were designed after sequencing the
mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene of clams identified as C. japonica originating
from Korea, China, and Japan. Using this method, each origin was clearly
identified based on the PCR products: three bands for Korean C. japonica
(100, 283, and 384bp), one band for Chinese C. japonica (384bp), and two
bands for Japanese C. japonica (384 and 100bp). These results indicate that
the 16S rRNA gene, which is usually used to identify species, can distinguish
the country of origin within C. japonica. Our multiplex PCR assay should be
a useful tool for the fair trade of the species.

摘要: Aim. The aim of this study was to determine whether an individuals
country of origin influenced performance of self-care behaviours after heart
surgery. Background. Patients are required to perform self-care behaviours
following cardiovascular surgery. Usual care encompasses a patient
education initiative that addresses self-care behaviour performance. Within
Canada, current heart surgery patient education efforts have been designed
and evaluated using homogenous samples that self-identify their country
of origin as England, Ireland or Scotland. However, approximately 42.6% of
Canadian cardiovascular surgical patients self-identify their country of
origin as India or China. Thus, current cardiovascular surgery patient
education initiatives may not be applicable to all patients undergoing heart
surgery, which may result in decreased patient outcomes such as
performance of self-care behaviours. Design. This descriptive study.
Methods. A convenience sample of 90 patients who underwent heart
surgery at one of two university-affiliated teaching hospitals, representing
individuals of diverse backgrounds. Point-biserial correlational analysis was
conducted to determine the relationship between country of origin and
performance of self-care behaviours. Results. Findings indicate individuals
who self-identified their country of origin as England or Ireland were
associated with a higher score on the number of self-care behaviours
performed (p < 0.05) than individuals who self-identified other countries of
origin. Self-care behaviours were taught using patient education materials
that were designed based on feedback obtained from individuals whose
country of origin was England or Ireland. Conclusion. This study provides
preliminary evidence to suggest country of origin influences the amount of
self-care behaviours individuals will perform. Relevance to clinical practice.
Patient education initiatives should incorporate the values, beliefs, attitudes
and customs reflective of an individuals country of origin to enhance the
likelihood of producing desired outcomes.

摘要: Consumers in emerging markets are known to have strong
preferences for well-known foreign brands. Drawing on schema and
categorization theories, this study empirically investigates how accessible
two components of brand foreignness - globalness and country of brand
origin - are in consumer perceptions of brand quality in emerging markets.
In addition, we argue that brand globalness can be shaped by inferential
reasoning and test how consumer perceptions of brand globalness are
affected by both a brand's country of origin and its perceived quality. Two
different studies were conducted with young-adult consumers in China. The
study found that in their evaluations of foreign brands consumers are more
influenced by country of origin than by brand globalness. It also found that
consumers tend to perceive a high level of globalness in high-quality
brands and brands from a favorable country-of-origin. Further, this
tendency was found to differ between well-known and lesser-known
brands. These findings confirm the predictive validity of country of origin,
but contrast with extant literature on the role of brand globalness as a
principal quality cue for foreign brands among consumers in emerging
markets. Our findings also imply brand globalness can be an inferred
attribute of perceived brand quality and country-of-origin image.
Keywords: brand foreignness, brand globalness, country-of-origin effect,
emerging markets.

摘要: Onions (Allium cepa L.) are produced in many countries and are one of
the most popular vegetables in the world, thus leading to an enormous
amount of international trade. It is currently important that a scientific
technique be developed for determining geographic origin as a means to
detect fraudulent labeling. We have therefore developed a technique based
on mineral analysis and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The onion
samples used in this study were from Hokkaido, Hyogo, and Saga, which are
the primary onion-growing areas in Japan, and those from countries that
export onions to Japan (China, the United States, New Zealand, Thailand,
Australia, and Chile). Of 309 samples, 108 were from Hokkaido, 52 were
from Saga, 77 were from Hyogo, and 72 were from abroad. Fourteen
elements (Na, Mg, P, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Mo, Cd, Cs, and Ba) in the
samples were determined by frame atomic adsorption spectrometry,
inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, and inductively
coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The models established by LDA were
used to discriminate the geographic origin between Hokkaido and abroad,
Hyogo and abroad, and Saga and abroad. Ten-fold cross-validations were
conducted using these models. The discrimination accuracies obtained by
cross-validation between Hokkaido and abroad were 100 and 86%,
respectively. Those between Hyogo and abroad were 100 and 90%,
respectively. Those between Saga and abroad were 98 and 90%,
respectively. In addition, it was demonstrated that the fingerprint of an
element pattern from a specific production area, which a crop receives, did
not easily change by the variations of fertilization, crop year, variety, soil
type, and production year if appropriate elements were chosen.

摘要: Identifying the sources of heavy metals in soils is a crucial issue for soil
remediation and management. Most regions in China have been
undergoing a rapid industrialization and urbanization since the last three
decades. However, there is little information available on the spatial
distribution of heavy metals in soils experiencing a rapid transition from
agricultural-based to industrial-based economy. To resolve this problem
and to provide references on similar regions, we carried out an investigation
on heavy metals in soils in Ju country to identify potential sources and to
map their spatial distributions.
A total of 646 samples including 511 samples in topsoils (0-20 cm, regular
grid of 2 x 2 km(2)) and 135 samples in subsoils (150-200 cm, regular grid of
4 x 4 km(2)) were collected in Ju country, and the total contents of Cd, Co,
Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, V, and Zn were determined. Enrichment factor
method and multivariate analyses (correlation analysis, principal
component analysis, and cluster analysis) were applied to identify the
sources of ten heavy metals in topsoils. Additionally, ordinary kriging was
used to map the spatial distributions of heavy metals concentration in
topsoils.
The overall levels of all heavy metals did not show high values, but the
enrichment factor results suggested that Hg, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn in topsoils
showed significant accumulation. Ten heavy metals can be grouped into
three groups. Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, and V were associated with parent material
and seemed to originate from a natural source. Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn seemed
to be related to the combination of parent material and anthropic inputs.
Hg as an isolated element was dominated by atmospheric deposition inputs
related to various human activities. Distribution maps derived by ordinary
kriging suggested that Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb, and Zn were linked to the western
part, corresponding well to the surroundings of urban areas located in the
western part of Ju country.
Hg, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn were the main metals affected by human inputs in Ju
country, and the high risk resulting from human influence was mainly
shown around urban areas, consistent with the spatial distribution of
industrial and traffic sites. Agricultural practices did not have significant
influence on the spatial distribution of metals. The combination of
multivariate analysis and geostatistics was found to be an effective
approach to identify the origins and spatial distribution of heavy metals in
soils.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper aims to investigate the
relationship between brand personality, country-of-origin (COO) image and
purchase intention. Specifically, it is suggested that COO image exerts both
main and interaction impact on purchase intention.
Design/methodology/approach - A cross-city survey of China's auto
industry for the Sino-German Joint Venture's auto brand of Bora was
conducted to test hypotheses, predicted on a sample of 1,200 respondents.
Another sample for Japan and the Sino-Japanese joint Venture's Honda
auto brand was used for validation.
Findings - Results reveal that both brand personality and COO image exert
significant positive main effects on purchase intention. Furthermore, COO
image is found to be a positive moderator in the relationship between
brand personality and purchase intention. Specifically, a positive COO
image could enhance brand personality's positive impact on purchase
intention, whereas a negative COO image could significantly decrease the
positive brand personality effect on purchase intention. Companies with
both weak brand personality and a negative COO image achieve a higher
purchase intention than those with weak brand personality, yet a positive
COO image.
Originality/value - This study provides new theoretical insights into factors
influencing consumers' purchase decision making by incorporating COO
image as a moderator in the relationship between brand personality and
purchase intention. It also offers joint ventures useful advice on whether to
emphasize brand origin. If a company is weak in both brand personality and
COO image, it is better not to emphasize brand origin.

标题: Prediction of adaptation difficulties by country of origin, cumulate
psychosocial stressors and attitude toward integrating: A Swedish study of
first-generation immigrants from Somalia, Vietnam and China

摘要: Background: Different types of accumulated stress have been found to
have negative consequences for immigrants' capacity to adapt to the new
environment. It remains unclear which factors have the greatest influence.
Aims: The study investigated whether immigrants' experience of great
difficulty in adapting to a new country could best be explained by (1)
country of origin, (2) exposure to accumulated stressors before arrival or (3)
after arrival in the new country and/or (4) reserved attitude toward
integrating into the new society.
Methods: The 119 first-generation immigrants from Somalia, Vietnam and
China, living in Malmo, Sweden, were interviewed in a standardized manner.
Results: Experiencing great difficulty in adapting to Sweden was
independent of length of residence, but significantly related to all four
influences, studied one at a time. Country of origin was also related to
stressors and attitude. When the effects of the other influences were
mutually controlled for, only exposure to accumulated stressors in Sweden
(and especially experiencing discrimination/xenophobia/racism) accounted
for great adaptation difficulty. Stressors in Sweden had a greater effect if
the immigrant had been exposed to stressors earlier.
Conclusions: Immigrants' long-term experiences of great difficulty in
adapting to a new country were explained primarily by exposure to
accumulated stressors while moving to and living in the new country, rather
than by their backgrounds or attitudes toward integrating. This suggests
promoting strategies to avoid discrimination and other stressors in the host
country.

摘要: Sixteen elements found in 33 cumin spice samples from China. India,
Syria, and Turkey were analysed by wavelength dispersive X-ray
fluorescence (WDXRF) spectroscopy using the commercially available
Bruker - AXS S4 Explorer for the purpose of using the elements to
discriminate among country of origin. Pellets were prepared of the samples
and elemental concentrations calculated from calibration curves
constructed using four National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) standards. A separate NIST tomato standard (1573a) was used as a
validation check, while the WDXRF data for six of the cumin samples was
further validated using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission
spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The elements measured included Ca, Mg, K, P, S, Al,
Ba, Br, Cl, Fe, Na, Mn, Rb. Sr, Cu, and Zn and were detected in the range
from an average mean of 4.3 mg kg(-1) for Ba up to 19223.8 mg kg(-1) for
K. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine which elemental
concentrations were statistically different from one another, and
discriminant analysis was used to classify the cumin samples by country of
origin. Using only eight elements (Ca, Mg, K, Fe, Na, Mn, Sr, and Zn) we were
able to differentiate among cumin samples from four different geographic
origins. Validation of the model with the validation set yielded 87.50%
accuracy. Successful discrimination with just eight elements will allow for
higher throughput in the screening of cumin samples using WDXRF for
origin verification in less time. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

标题: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on O-D flow and airport

摘要: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has posed a global threat to human
health. In order to prevent the spread of this virus, many countries have
imposed travel restrictions. This difficult situation has dramatically affected
the airline industry by reducing the passenger volume, number of flights,
airline flow patterns, and even has changed the entire airport network,
especially in Northeast Asia (because it includes the original disease seed).
However, although most scholars have used conventional statistical analysis
to describe the changes in passenger volume before and during the
COVID-19 outbreak, very few of them have applied statistical assessment or
time series analysis, and have not even examined how the impact may be
different from place to place. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to
identify the impact of COVID-19 on the airline industry and affected areas
(including the origin-destination flow and the airport network). First, a
Clustering Large Applications (CLARA) algorithm was used to group
numerous origin-destination (O-D) flow patterns based on their
characteristics and to determine if these characteristics have changed the
severity of the impact of each cluster during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Second, two statistical tests (the paired t-test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank
test) were utilized to determine if the entire airport network and the top 30
hub airports changed during COVID-19. Four centrality measurement
indices (degree, closeness, eigenvector, and betweenness centrality) of the
airports were used to assess the entire network and ranking of individual
hub airports. The study data, provided by The Official Aviation Guide (OAG)
from December 2019 to April 2020, indicated that during the COVID-19
outbreak, there was a decrease in passenger volume (60%-98.4%) as well as
the number of flights (1.5%-82.6%). However, there were no such significant
changes regarding the popularity ranking of most airports during the
outbreak. Before this occurred (December 2019), most hub airports were in
China (April 2020), and this trend remain similar during the COVID-19
outbreak. However, the values of the centrality measurement decreased
significantly for most hub airports due to travel restrictions issued by the
government.

摘要: Consumer’s differentiated perception and appraisal of aproduct’s
country-of-origin (COO) exerts large influence onperception of the
COO-image (COI) and on the perceivedproduct quality.At peripheral
information processing COO-Image (COI)provides a basis to ease
requirements for informationprocessing in form of heuristics.Most of
internationalization literature examines the COOeffect with respect to
high-involvement products and in contextof cognitive processing. However
studies from Maheswaran andChen (2006) point out, that besides cognitive
influences, alsospecific emotions impact on COO-effects. Whereas
theinfluence of negative emotions like anger, sadness orfrustration on
processing and judgments could be exposed, theissue of positive
emotions’ impact still stays open.Since the question should be answered, if
emotions impacton COO-Effects, it is emphasized to focus on COO as
anaffective heuristic operating as a “halo” effect on attitudestowards a
product. Because both marketing and evolutionarytheories of emotion act
on the assumption of satisfaction ofhuman needs, latter is specified,
describing emotions ascomplex chains of events with stabilizing feedback
loops.Particularly, in the context of impulsive purchasing emotionplays a
vital role. Impulsive buyers are more emotionalized,experiencing more
enthusiasm, joy, and glee than nonbuyers.Thus “joy” leads to impulsive
decision making behavior.Drawing on the extant literature, we develop our
conceptualframework to analyze whether, and if so, how positiveemotions
(such as joy) affect the impact of COO on productevaluation. Based on an
experimental study including 130respondents, we test three hypotheses:
whether the COO hasan impact on product evaluation (H1), whether the
positiveemotion of joy has a stronger positive influence on product
evaluation than neutral emotional states (H2), and whether thepositive
emotion of joy reduces the positive relationship ofCOO on product
evaluation (H3).In the experimental design, it is hypothesized that the
latentvariable Emotion impacts on the latent variable COI and inaddition
that these latent variables, both influence beliefstowards the product in
terms of a halo effect. Latent variablesin each case get measured with
manifested variables in formof validated scales. Cause-and-effect relations
are revealed inan experiment concerning a factorial test arrangement with
a2x2 factor design, consisting of two COOs (China vs.Germany) and two
emotional states (joy vs. neutral state).Complex pictures from International
Affective Picture Systemstate standardized stimuli obtaining specific
emotions. Theapparel industry serves as the product category used in
theexperiment because impulsive buying behavior is quite commonin this
product category. Moreover, we chose women asrespondents because they
rather purchase for emotional andrelationship-oriented reasons. Products
get labeled with woventags and tags at clothes hangers manipulating
COO.Analysis of variance (ANOVA) can be counted among themost
important analysis methods in marketing research and isused for analysis,
with emotional state and COO being theindependent variables and product
evaluation as the dependentvariable. Prior to probing hypothesized
assumptions amanipulation check concerning induced emotions
wassuccessful. Participants primed with the joyful IAPS checked
asignificantly higher percentage of positive adjectives thanrespondents
primed with the neutral IAPS (joyful=.76, neutral=.61; F=7.59, p<.001). Also
the used scale of ProductEvaluation could be validated by confirmatory
factor analysis.The main effect of emotion is highly significant for
productevaluation. Following Cohen (1988), the strength of the effectsis
large (η2 = 10.8 %). Product evaluation is influenced by ahighly significant
interaction effect (Emotion * COO,EtaSquare: 6.2 %). COO has a significant
influence on productevaluation giving support for H1. Furthermore
respondents in ajoyful state evaluate the product significantly better
thanrespondents in a neutral state (MVJoy=4.89 vs.
MVNeutral=4.33,F=11.359, p<.001). This finding confirms our hypothesis
H2.Since the product evaluation is influenced by an interactioneffect, the
impact of COO must be analyzed in both cases for(1) joy and (2) neutral
state. In a neutral emotional staterespondents evaluate products of German
origin (MV=4.73)significantly better compared to a Chinese COO
(MV=3.94). Incontrast to this, COO does not affect product evaluation
whenthe respondent is in a joyful mood: The Chinese product (MV=4.89) is
evaluated better than the German product (MV =4.87). However, the
difference is not statistically significant.This finding confirms hypothesis
H3.This survey increases acknowledgement concerning emotionalimpacts
on perception of COO serving as affective heuristic,because during
induction of joyful emotional states a tendencytowards an alleviated
COO-Effect is demonstrated. Thusemotion impacts on perception of COO
information at such arate that poor COIs can be valorized, while beneficial
domesticCOIs rather level off.Insights for retailers and manufacturers’
brand managementare that they should pay attention to consumer’s
emotionalstate while developing foreign markets. They have tocontinually
encourage consumers’ positive emotion throughstore design, product
displays, package designs and sales inorder to valorize poor COIs.
Contrariwise brand managementfrom manufacturers offering brands,
featuring beneficial COIsshould mind that encouraging consumers’
positive emotions byrecommended actions, impacts on apparel featuring
poor COIsin superior manner.

标题: Origin and evolution of uraniferous pegmatite: A case study from the
Xiaohuacha granite-pegmatite system and related country rocks in the
Shangdan uranium mineralization district of North Qinling Orogenic Belt,
China

摘要: The Shangdan district in the North Qinling Orogenic Belt hosts the
largest pegmatite-type uraniferous province in China. The Xiaohuacha U
mineralization in this district occurs along the contact zone between biotite
pegmatite and its host rock of biotite gneiss, adjacent to the composite
Huichizi batholith, which is composed mainly of biotite monzogranite and
syenogranite. Zircon U-Pb dating of these granitoids reveals two-stage
magmatism, namely, the early Silurian for biotite monzogranite (438.5 +/4.4 Ma) and the early Devonian for syenogranite (417.8 +/- 3.2 Ma). The
biotite pegmatite shows an age of 415.8 +/- 3.8 Ma for the mineralized
marginal zone, and similar ages of 414.6 +/- 43 Ma and 4132 +/- 3.5 Ma are
obtained for the barren marginal and intermediate zones, respectively.
The biotite monzogranite exhibits a restricted range of positive zircon
epsilon(Hf)(t) values of +5.3 to +7.8, with T-DM2 ages of 0.93-1.08 Ga,
suggesting magma derivation from mainly pre-existing basaltic rocks in the
orogenic root. Magmatic oxygen fugacity (fO(2)) was estimated by
Ti-in-zircon thermometry and Ce incorporation within zircons. The biotite
monzogranite was emplaced at a temperature of 736 +/- 24 degrees C with
log fO(2) values of - 22.28 to -14.19. In contrast, the syenogranite zircons
have epsilon(Hf)(t) values of -1.4 to +2.4 and T-DM2 ages of 1.25-1.49 Ga,
indicating a derivation from the Mesoproterozoic crust with some mantle
input. Pristine zircon domains from different zones of the biotite pegmatite
display epsilon(Hf)(t) values of -2.8 to +1.8 and T-DM2 ages of 1.29-1.58 Ga,
similar to those of the syenogranite, indicating they share a common
magma source. Combination of petrographical, geochronological, isotopic,
and mineral chemical data supports a petrogenetic relationship between
the high-T (842 +/- 14 degrees C) syenogranite and biotite pegmatite (756
+/- 21 degrees C and 709 +/- 26 degrees C for the uncontaminated
marginal and intermediate zones respectively) through magmatic
differentiation from the same magma source during a period of tectonic
extension.
Processes of segregation and emplacement of the pegmatitic magma are
consistent with open-system assimilation and fractional crystallization (AFC)
leading to decreasing log fO(2) values from the syenogranite (-11.23 to 7.02) to biotite pegmatite through a fractionation trajectory. However, log
fO(2) values increase from the uncontaminated pegmatite marginal (-15.88
to -10.9) to intermediate (-17.86 to -6.14) zones with closed-system
pegmatite internal evolution. The interaction (hybridization) between
magma and gneiss induced decrease of oxidation state and (K + Na)/Al, as
well as modifications to zircon compositions in the mineralized pegmatite
marginal zone. We propose a model with decreasing of fO(2) and (K +
Na)/Al during AFC being the main controls on the formation of the U
deposit. (C) 2020 Published by Elsevier B.V.

摘要: Purpose Country of origin has profound effects on consumer
behavior; yet few studies have examined an antecedent of these effects:
why some countries enjoy a positive image while others suffer a negative
one. Developing an institutional theory of country image, the authors argue
that weak legal institutions at the country level increase firm opportunistic
behavior that expropriates consumers and decrease the product quality of
local brands, thus decreasing the country's image regarding its products
and brands. Design/methodology/approach This study measures country
image for products and brands using the number of valuable brands (i.e.
brands included in the top 500 brands from 2008 to 2016) in a particular
home country. Data concerning the rule of law in each country come from
the World Bank, and data on the efficiency of countries' judicial systems
comes from Djankovet al.(2007). We also collect patent data from the US
Patent and Trade Office, national culture from Hofstede Insights and GDP
and GDP per capita from the World Bank as control variables. Panel Poisson
regression, Tobit regression and truncated regression are used in the
analyses. Findings Supporting the institutional theory of country image,
both the rule of law and efficiency of the judicial systems show positive and
significant effects on country image, even when economy size (GDP),
degree of economic development (GDP per capita), level of technology and
skill (patents) and culture are controlled. Practical implications To improve
their country's image and the brand value of local firms, policymakers
should strive to strengthen legal institutions aimed at punishing firm
opportunistic behavior in their countries. Originality/value Previous
research on the country-of-origin effect has not yet appreciated the role of
legal institutions in developing the construct of country image.

摘要: We investigate how the life satisfaction of migrants is affected by life
satisfaction in their background country and in their new country of
residence. In particular, we contribute to the literature by differentiating
between first- and second-generation immigrants and by differentiating
between types of background country. Using data from the European Social
Survey on 30,000 immigrants from 200 countries in 32 European countries,
we find that for first-generation immigrants, the effect of the average life
satisfaction of the background country is strong for migrants from
developed countries, smaller for migrants from developing countries and
zero for migrants from post-communist countries. Moreover, the effect
from the country of residence is strong for all groups, indicating that while
most of these immigrants retain ties to or are still under the influence of the
culture of the old country, they develop important ties to the new country.
However, second-generation immigrants are not influenced by the
life-satisfaction of the background country at all, indicating that they are
strongly attuned to life in the country in which they were born.

摘要: Purpose Research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) continues
to proliferate, but why and how multinational enterprises (MNEs) from
different parts of the world engage in CSR is still unclear. The purpose of
this study was to investigate whether there are differences in behavior
based on the status of the MNE's home country relative to the host country.
Design/methodology/approach Applying a social dominance theory (SDT)
framework, the authors explain variations in MNE behavior because of
perceived hierarchical differences between a MNE's home country and that
of the host country. It is posited that these hierarchical differences trigger a
country-of-origin bias that affects stakeholders' expectations for the MNE,
as well as that firm's response to those expectations. In this integrative
conceptual paper, we propose a testable framework derived from a
deductive approach that applies the tenets of SDT to predict outcomes of
CSR implementation by MNE's subsidiaries.
Findings MNEs from less developed countries are subject to lower
expectations and engage in self-debilitating behavior, which may hinder
their attempts to implement CSR initiatives in more developed countries.
Paradoxically, engaging in CSR initiatives could help reduce liability of
foreignness and increase chances for competitive advantage.
Practical implications MNEs from developing countries should be aware of a
potential country-of-origin bias affecting decisions on CSR implementation
and that could also be detrimental to their competitive advantage when
operating in more developed countries. Conversely, MNEs from developed
countries should be ready for higher expectations of their CSR initiatives in
less developed countries.
Originality/value This paper strives to contribute to two extant literatures.
First, it contributes to the social dominance literature by applying the
perspective in the international business context, specifically research on
MNE liability of origin. Second, this perspective offers testable propositions
on how perceived hierarchies and liability of origin affect firm
decision-making, specifically in the context of developing country MNEs.
Third, this paper seeks to expand the discussion of MNE subsidiary CSR
behavior to account for the relative context of the home and host country.

摘要: By using a core element of culture, human values, the paper seeks to
identify patterns in the way individuals perceive other countries and their
products. Based on the above,a conceptual framework and a set of
hypotheses were developed. Variables such as direct contact with a country,
fluency in a country's language as well as demographic differences are
included as control variables. Results indicated that human values can
predict better country of origin images than other variables. However, the
predictive ability of different human values was inconsistent across the two
samples, suggesting that the context within which values are developed is
important.

摘要: Does the country-of-origin effect matter to industrial brand equity in
international business-to-business (B2B) markets? The effect of a product's
country-of-origin (COO) on both industrial buyers' and consumers'
perceptions and evaluations has been one of the most widely studied
phenomena in the fields of international business, marketing, and
consumer behavior since the 1960s. Although many country-of-origin
studies focus on consumer behavior in developed countries and
acknowledge that the processes and stages of economic development by
which consumers use COO information may differ in developing countries,
the fact that there has been little research to investigate the effects of COO
could explain the variations in international buyers' evaluations of industrial
brand equity in the newly-industrialized economies, such as Taiwan.
Taiwanese firms are now formidable global B2B market players by
successfully transforming themselves from manufacturing mainly low-value
and labor-intensive goods to producing many high value-added products
that require advanced technology, equipment and significant business
expertise. With the adoption of advanced technology and equipment, an
important question is whether unique and innovative fastener products
from Taiwan have generated the country-of-origin effects in international
B28 buyers' minds. The main finding is that the country-of-origin of
fasteners has not yet become an important antecedent of industrial brand
equity in the case of the fastener industry in Taiwan. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All

摘要: An attempt is made to critically reappraise the overall relationship
between labor emigration and the economic, sociocultural, and political
systems of the countries of worker origin along which emigration operates
simultaneously as both a dependent and an independent variable. The
emigration policy dilemmas facing sending countries have their roots in the
international economic system's structural realities, as understood through
the related paradigms of center/periphery and uneven development. The
development gap between labor receivers and suppliers has under
conditions of substantial and almost uninterrupted growth on the part of
the receivers aggravated the advanced European industrial powers'
structural labor shortages and exaggerated their need for large continents
of foreign labor, thus literally premising their continuous growth on the
constant supply of such labor. Yet, at the same time, the less developed
countries (LDCs) in the European periphery were asked to play the role of
industrial satellites to the industrial metropolis, a task which was most
welcome in the developing countries' expansive mode of the late 1950s and
early 1960s. This situation encouraged the creation of an atmosphere of
negligence in the capitals of the sending countries which facilitated the
gradual internationalization of labor. The reliance on foreign labor has
failed to solve those serious structural economic deficiencies of labor
receivers that it was purported to correct, and, in fact, may have aggravated
them. Additionally, the automatic control mechanisms which has been
relied upon to regulate the migrant inflow are proving very unreliable.
Labor emigration has usually been posited as the vehicle for the effective

摘要: This research explores the different effects of brand origin country and
made-in country on consumers' product evaluations and purchase
intention. It is found that made-in cues have significant impacts on quality
evaluation while brand origin cues influence purchase intention more
prominently. Product quality is perceived lower when a brand from
developed country is manufactured in developing countries, however, this
may not affect consumers' purchase intentions.

摘要: The process of manufacturing and marketing international products is
increasingly complex and especially for multinational corporations that
strive to lower production costs while adapting their products and services
to match local preferences. Localization of international business has been
shown to generate differing country of origin (COO) effects in terms of the
brand origin and country of production (COP) congruity issue. Both country
of production and brand origin may not be the same, which questions the
effect of incongruity on a brand, consumer ethnocentrism and localization
issues particularly when a well known brand are from a developed country
and COP is in a developing country. This study extends past studies on the
COO effect to examine whether a negative COP affects consumer product
perception and consumer purchase decision of a well-known brand.
Hypotheses are tested empirically against survey consumer data from the
UK (developed country) and People's Republic of China (developing
country) using Sony as a global brand. The main findings show that both
brand origin and COP are particularly important for consumers in a
developed country in their product evaluations while perceived brand
image of a developing country and price are key factors for consumers in a
developing country. In addition, knowledge of the extent of consumer
ethnocentrism can be a major determinant for branding decisions related to
using product information cues about country of production and/or an
international brand image. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

标题: Translating country-of-origin effects into prices

卷: 18
期: 5
页: 371-8
DOI: 10.1108/10610420910981855
出版年: 2009
摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of
country stereotyping, bad press, and consumer ethnocentrism on the prices
a country can command and be competitive.
Design/methodology/approach - A total of 767 consumers were given
prices for products in 11 different categories, then told each product was
made in China. They were then asked how much more (if anything) they
would be willing to pay if the product was made in Germany, the USA, or
India. Findings - Price premiums were significant for all categories, and
increased for those scoring higher on a Consumer Ethnocentric Tendencies
Scale (CET Scale). However, completing the CET Scale before answering
price questions caused respondents to have a lower price premium for US
products. The size of the price premium was also positively correlated with
the amount of exposure to negative news concerning Chinese products.
Research limitations/implications - It is unknown how consumers would
respond to categories not studied. Practical implications - The cost of
setting up government controls and industry oversight is expensive.
However, the cost of negative news with product recalls is also expensive.
Countries who avoid such negative news may be able to price their
products 14 percent to 100 percent higher. Originality/value - This study
quantifies price premiums available to countries with a positive COO image.
It also allows a manager to determine the feasibility of developing
domestically produced products in specific categories, by identifying
categories where consumers would pay a premium for domestically
produced products.

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this research is to identify the impacts of the
country of origin of a franchise chain on its commitment in the destination
countries, verifying the institutional particularities between the chains from
emerging and developed countries. Design/methodology/approach The
research is descriptive and quantitative and involved 724 franchise chains
from 10 countries of origin (Brazil, Russia, India, South Africa, Argentina,
USA, Germany, Australia, Spain and Portugal), spread over 174 destination
countries, totaling 3,513 cases. Findings The results indicate that
institutional preferences do not vary according to the country of origin of
the franchise chain but rather vary according to the destination country.
Research limitations/implications This paper contributes to institutional
theory by identifying a set of characteristics that explains the selection of
international markets and the commitment of franchise chains. Practical
implications The results obtained in the study can help managers of
franchise chains to make decisions related to the selection of destination
countries for international expansion based on the institutional
characteristics of the markets and their compatibility with the objectives of
the franchise chains. Originality/value Companies in emerging countries
internationalize according to different management logics from those of
companies from developed countries. Thus, it is possible that the process of
selecting countries for internationalization is also based on different criteria
that reflect different institutional preferences. The thesis defended in the
paper is that market potential is more important to franchisees from
emerging markets, whereas contract enforcement is more important to
franchisees from developed markets.

标题: When does the developing country brand name alleviate the brand
origin effect? Interplay of brand name and brand origin

摘要: Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine how developing country brand
name and brand origin affect the customer's evaluation of the brand in
radically new high-tech products. Using processing fluency as a theoretical
underpinning, this study can answer the following questions: first, does
foreign brand name (developed vs developing Asian brand name) affect the
customer's attitude toward the brand? Second, does the brand origin
(developed vs developing country) moderate the effect of foreign brand
name on attitude toward the brand? Third, does the individual difference
(knowledge and technological sophistication) matter in determining the
brand origin and fit effect on willingness to buy?
Design/methodology/approach
A 2x2 between subject experiment was conducted in which two factors
were manipulated: foreign brand name (developed: Japan vs developing:
China) and brand origin (developed: Japan vs developing: China).
Findings
The fit between brand origin and brand name leads to better evaluation of
the brand than no fit. On the other hand, for developing country brand
origin (e.g. China), the brand naming effect is mitigated by enhanced
processing fluency caused by fit, which leads to better evaluation of
developing country brand. Fit effect is more pronounced for more
knowledgeable consumers. Technologically more sophisticated consumers
are more willing to buy the developing country brand origin than
technologically less sophisticated consumers due to the processing fluency
effect.
Originality/value
This paper introduces the two dimensions of foreign brand name
(developed vs developing) and examines the interaction with the brand
origin. This research fills the gap of under-researched area in brand naming
literature, which is the effect of developing country brand naming on
attitude toward the brand of radically new high-tech products. This research
extends the previous literature by applying linguistic mechanism,
processing fluency to examine the Asian brand naming including emerging
market. This research makes an important theoretical contribution by
identifying an underlying individual-level construct, "knowledge" and
"technological sophistication," which explains and influences the effects of
brand name and brand origin on willingness to buy the brand.

摘要: Many countries do not have the resources to develop epidemiological
models of animal diseases. As a result, it is tempting to use models
developed in other countries. However, an existing model may need to be
adapted in order for it to be appropriately applied in a country, region, or
situation other than that for which it was originally developed. The process
of adapting a model has a number of benefits for both model builders and
model users. For model builders, it provides insight into the applicability of
their model and potentially the opportunity to obtain data for operational
validation of components of their model. For users, it is a chance to think
about the infection transmission process in detail, to review the data
available for modelling, and to learn the principles of epidemiological
modelling. Various issues must be addressed when considering adapting a
model. Most critically, the assumptions and purpose behind the model
must be thoroughly understood, so that new users can determine its
suitability for their situation. The process of adapting a model might simply
involve changing existing model parameter values (for example, to better
represent livestock demographics in a country or region), or might require
more substantial (and more labour-intensive) changes to the model code
and conceptual model. Adapting a model is easier if the model has a
user-friendly interface and easy-to-read user documentation. In addition,
models built as frameworks within which disease processes and livestock
demographics and contacts are flexible are good candidates for technology
transfer projects, which lead to long-term collaborations.

标题: A less-developed country perspective of consumer ethnocentrism and
"country of origin" effects: Indonesian evidence

出版年: 2006
摘要: Purpose - This paper seeks to examine the concept of "consumer
ethnocentrism" (CE) and its impact on product evaluation and preferences
among Indonesian consumers. Design/methodology/approach - The
survey involved interviewing a representative sample of Indonesian
consumers who had previously purchased the products in question, namely
colour television and who had travelled by international airlines. A total of
547 usable questionnaires were completed in face-to-face interviews in
Indonesia. Conjoint analysis was employed to study the relative importance
and part-worth estimates of country-of-origin (COO) effects across high
and low CE groups. Findings - Results of a sample survey of Indonesian
consumers are discussed. They show, firstly, that the overall level of CE of
Indonesian consumers, compared with published results for a range of
countries, is notably high. Secondly, results of conjoint analysis showing the
relationship between CE and consumer evaluations of "COO", product
quality perceptions, and purchase intentions, for both tangible goods and
intangible services, are discussed. Research limitations/implications - The
actual sample was heavily biased to upper socio-economic groups because
of its focus on international airlines as one of the subject products. This will
inevitably distort the average Consumer ethnocentric tendency scale score,
but was felt to be unavoidable. Originality/value - In the past, research on
country-of-origin effects has been carried out mostly in more developed
countries considering products made in less developed countries (LDC's). In
the present research, attention has been given to understand the effects of
consumer CE on perceptions of product quality, price, perceived value, and
product choice from the point of view of consumers from LDC's. In addition,
the study of COO effects in relation to intangible services is noteworthy.

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to shed new light on the role of
country of origin (COO) for the competitiveness of luxury restaurants. The
main goal is to understand how an haute cuisine (HC) chef can develop a
personal cooking style and language based on the exploitation of COO in
such a highly institutionalized field. Design/methodology/approach A
single case study methodology is applied based on the analysis of the
Italian HC chef Niko Romito. Findings Findings of this paper highlight the
existence of pervasive use of strategies based on the search, recombination
and codification of procedure that take direct inspiration by national and
regional traditional gastronomic resources and recipes.
Originality/value A model is presented and the three gears that form the
COO chain of chef Romito are explained. This model will help academics
and practitioners to better understand the ways need to be followed to
improve firms' competitiveness fostering COO.

DOI: 10.1108/JPBM-04-2016-1138
出版年: 2016
摘要: Purpose - A new conceptualization of the process of country of origin
(COO) branding based on fresh theoretical foundations is developed. This
paper aims to provide a strategic perspective that integrates extant views of
COO branding, based on identity and image, with a relational perspective
based on a process approach to developing collective brand meaning.
Design/methodology/approach - A systematic review of the literature on
COO branding and geographical indicators is undertaken, together with a
review of contemporary research on branding. Our framework
conceptualizes COO branding as an integrating process that aligns a
network of relationships to co-create collective meaning for the brand's
value propositions.
Findings - An illustrative case study provides empirical evidence to support
the new theoretical framework.
Research limitations/implications - Issues for further research include
exploring and refining the theoretical framework in other research contexts
and investigating broader issues about how COO branding influences self
and collective interests in business relationships and industry networks.
Practical implications - Adopting a broadened perspective of COO branding
enables managers to understand how identity and image are integrated
with their business relationships in the context of developing collective
brand meaning. Providing a sustained strategic advantage for all network
actors, an integrated COO branding process extends beyond developing a
distinctive identity and image.
Originality/value - Accepted consumer, product, firm and place level
perspectives of COO branding are challenged by developing and verifying a
new integrated conceptualization of branding.

标题: Toward a Universal Account of Country-Induced Predispositions:
Integrative Framework and Measurement of Country-of-Origin Images and
Country Emotions

摘要: Understanding how consumers use a product's country-of-origin
(COO) cue is fundamental to explaining their behavior in a globalized
marketplace. While the study of COO is one of the most popular topics in
international marketing, the ambiguity regarding its conceptualization,
composite nature, operationalization, and measurement deserves further
scrutiny. The authors propose an integrative framework that unites two
separate areas of research on the COO cue: performance-related COO
images and performance-unrelated country emotions. The authors
reconcile diverse existing perspectives from both areas into the overarching
country-induced predispositions model. Conceptualizations and
measurement approaches for the model's five components are developed
and empirically validated across three countries and with five COOs. The
model offers researchers and managers with an interest in the COO cue a
flexible and operational roadmap, with scales both for in-depth analyses
and parsimonious additional testing.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide an in-depth
examination of country-of-origin (COO) perceptions of consumers in a
multinational setting. It shows how explanatory factors like demographics,
familiarity with a country's products, purchase behaviour and psychological
variables jointly work to explain consumers' COO perceptions.
Design/methodology/approach - This is a quantitative study using a
drop-off and pick-up survey among three samples of consumers in Canada,
Morocco and Taiwan. The final sample size was comprised of 506 male
consumers. The data were analyzed using factor analysis to group countries
of origin and analyses of variance to relate COO perceptions to the
explanatory variables.
Findings - The familiarity with products made in a country was the strongest
predictor of country perceptions, followed by nationality and the
manufacturing process and product complexity dimensions of country
evaluation. Canadians had the highest propensity to distinguish between
countries of origin on the basis of product technological complexity and
manufacturing dimensions and Moroccans the least. Taiwanese appeared
to show animosity towards China.
Research limitations/implications - The study used an only-male sample
from a limited number of countries. Future research should seek to develop
a multi-dimensional scale for the familiarity construct. They should also
explore the concept of consumer capacity to distinguish between Coos.
Cross-national studies using cognitive style scales should be carried out. A
qualitative examination of Taiwanese's COO perceptions is also
recommended.
Practical implications - It seems important to increase consumers'
familiarity with a COO and its products to improve its overall perception.
Products made in Latin American countries have the lowest level of
familiarity in general. Thus, increasing familiarity with their products is
particularly important to achieve export success.
Originality/value - This study contributes to the marketing and international
business literatures and provides insights to international marketers by
bringing valuable information that can help make decisions as to where to
manufacture and how to promote global products. It provides guidance as
to what types of nations are likely to require multi-dimensional information
about countries of origin.

摘要: Objective: The purpose of this paper is to identify the understanding
and strategic importance of the country of origin (COO) and its dimensions
from the perspective of the emerging market firms.
Methods: A qualitative approach was applied using in-depth interviews with
11 informants from owners of emerging market companies of household
appliances brands.
Key findings: COO is perceived by managers of emerging markets' firms as
a multidimensional construct. In addition to the COO dimensions presented
in the literature, informants indicate the following: country of
technology/innovation origin, country of technical culture, country of
service network localization, country of organizational culture origin
(COOCO), and country of brand launching (COBL). Country of
manufacturing (COM)/assembly/parts is perceived as a strategic imperative,
first of all, from the sourcing strategy perspective, and it is less important
from the marketing perspective than the country of brand origin (COBO).
Originality: This study contributes to existing literature by developing a
deeper understanding of the COO dimensions from a perspective of
emerging market companies.

摘要: Previous research has suggested that country-based emotions (i.e.,
emotions associated with a country) can influence consumer evaluations of
a product from that country. However, it remains unclear when and how
country-based emotions can be influential in consumer decision making.
The results from an experiment reveal that only for a destination with a less
favorable country-of-origin image will the match (vs. mismatch) between
the country-based emotion and the emotional appeal of the product
advertisement increase the purchase likelihood of the product. These
findings are beneficial for local brands in that they can promote tourist
spending at their destination by cooperating with destination marketers in
developing integrated promotional campaigns that elicit congruent
emotions.

摘要: There are many benefits of enterprise resource planning (ERP)
systems, but their implementation is both complicated and difficult because
the product spans functional silos and involves many internal and external
entities. An ERP system is the outcome of social processes, and different
ERP systems can embody distinct social arrangements when developed in
different cultural contexts. Such social arrangements are difficult to change
due the closure effect of technology stabilization. This leads to various
misfit problems, both during and after ERP implementation, causing
adverse effects on delivered ERP quality. With a survey of 85 ERP
implementation cases in Taiwan, this study derives and empirically tests the
main as well as the interaction effects of the country of origin of the ERP
package, consultant quality, top management support, and user support of
the ERP system quality as perceived by the client after implementation. The
results demonstrate the important role of the country of origin of the ERP
package and consultant quality in configuring a high-quality ERP system
and alleviating the negative effect of misfit problems.

摘要: This article builds on the existing literature on 'country of origin'
effects on the management of human resources in multinational
corporations (MNCs). It adopts a relational perspective in order to examine
how actors at different levels within multinationals develop identities, and
how these interact. Exploring the different sets of relations present within
MNCs highlights two major areas in which the existing literature is deficient:
first, a more integrated perspective on country effects within MNCs is
dependent on an understanding of the potential for firms to strategically
segment HR policies; second, more consideration needs to be given to the
potential separation, either full or partial, of country of ownership and
country of management effects, in order to reach a more realistic analysis of
how national business systems shape international HRM. Contact: Dr Phil

摘要: With extensive globalization, the effect of country-of-origin (COO)
stereotypes has been continuously questioned by many scholars; a key
dispute is whether younger generations still hold COO stereotypes. Some
scholars have proved downward trends in developed countries, but there is
little evidence in developing countries, such as China. This research employs
three studies to investigate through both implicit and explicit measurement
whether Chinese born in the 1980s and those born in the 1990s differ in
their attitudes toward domestic and imported products in terms of function
and image. The results show that the Chinese of the 1980s generation still
hold strong COO stereotypes that imported products are better than
domestic products for either a general product level or a specific product
category. The 1990s generation does not follow suit. This result is explained
by the life course theory, which highlights that family communication
patterns can influence people's COO stereotypes. It is highly recommended
that marketers consider the different attitudes of China's 1980s generation
and 1990s generation toward imported and domestic products to better
communicate the imported or Chinese imprint of the products.

摘要: This paper investigates consumer preference for local ecological
products rather than foreign equivalents in developing countries. A
quantitative approach using conjoint analysis method was used.
Face-to-face questionnaires were conducted with 300 consumers in Algeria
and Tunisia. The results indicate that the ecological characteristic, origin
and price of a product significantly influence consumer preference in both
countries. Consumers prefer imported ecological products to locally
manufactured equivalents. Contrary to the findings observed in the case of
consumers from developed countries, emotional variables such as pride,
national identity and ethnocentrism do not impact the preferences of
consumers from developing countries. However, this result is influenced by
certain individual characteristics, namely income, gender and familiarity
with ecological products.

摘要: Purpose - Luxury brands' marketing efforts have traditionally focussed
on developed nations since that has comprised the majority of consumer
demand. However, double-digit growth in developing nations such as India
and China, have attracted the attention of most luxury brand managers.
Using cue utilization theory, the authors conducted a qualitative study in
two phases comprised of first, focus group discussions (FGD), structured
observations (SO) and second, In-Depth Interviews (IDI) to understand the
effects of country of origin (COO) on Indian consumers' current day
purchasing behaviors with luxury products. The paper aims to discuss these
issues. Design/methodology/approach - Using cue utilization theory, the
authors conducted a qualitative study in two phases comprised of first, FGD,
SO and second, IDI to understand the effects of COO on Indian consumers'
current day purchasing behaviors with luxury products. A conceptual
framework has been developed that should help luxury brands formulate
marketing strategies for this booming market. Findings - Further, this study
found that COO affects the exploration of luxury brands and this process is
carried out digitally and primarily with friends. Luxury brand managers can
insert detailed information about COO on web sites and can understand the
keywords used in the search engines to facilitate consumers using
appropriate consideration data. This research also found that COO is
compared on the basis of quality, features and innovation. Research
limitations/implications - The results of this study are only from one
emerging country, i.e., India. Similar studies should be carried out in other
emerging nations. Additionally, developed countries can also carry out
comprehensive research in this domain as their behavior is also changing
for COO and luxury brands. Originality/value - This insight can be used by
the brand managers and they can develop apps and web sites that would
help the consumers to compare the COO for their products. Additionally,
this research found that COO helps the luxury consumers to evaluate the
brands and how they associate it with consumer images. Luxury brand
managers need to be conscious when their countries products/ brands have
been rated low by the consumers as it could result in consumers simply
discarding them from their consideration set.

标题: Quest for purposefully designed conceptualization of the
country-of-origin image construct

摘要: While hundreds of studies have investigated the impact of country
image on quality evaluation of foreign products, results have been mutually
inconsistent. This study carefully addresses the conceptualization of the
country image construct, since poor construct conceptualization may be
one of the roots of the controversial results in the literature. We argue that
the proper conceptual delimitation and respective operationalization of the
construct should consider the theoretical arguments that relate it to other
constructs in each given study, instead of deriving from a generic
"one-size-fits-all" model. We illustrate the procedure of developing a
measure for country image within a specific setting and empirically validate
the new measurement model. The main contribution of this study is the
theoretical discussion and empirical testing of the domain map and the
levels of analysis of the country image construct, thereby increasing
construct validity. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

标题: Using macro cross-border trade data to better understand micro-level
country of origin effects

摘要: The article adapts an estimation methodology from the border effects
literature to reveal consumer ethnocentrism versus cosmopolitanism in
each country, and animosity versus nostalgia between country pairs. The
measurements rely on actual macro cross-border trade data rather than
individual purchase intentions typically used in the international marketing
literature. The results from early 2010s suggest that purchasing intentions
against imports found in this literature do not necessarily translate into
actual consumption behavior in international trade. It is quite possible that
the consumers are unable to assess country of origin of production despite
growing ethnocentrism, and base their actual purchases on perceived origin
of product brands. Specifically, it is found that most countries are
cosmopolitan rather than ethnocentric, particularly developed countries,
favoring any foreign product over domestic products. Most countries also
have nostalgic purchasing behavior from specific trade partners with
historical linkages. Outside the specific traditional animosities between a
country pair, a developed country is relatively less open to imports from
another developed trade partner, while an emerging country welcomes it
more especially from another emerging trade partner.

摘要: Although a growing literature has investigated how animosity and
consumer ethnocentrism change customers' perceptions of foreign
products in developed markets, research examining these effects in
developing markets is scarce. Additionally, the role of country of origin on
such effects has received far less attention. The current paper is developed
to bridge these gaps. The primary objectives of this paper are to examine
whether the animosity and consumer ethnocentrism models that work in
the Western world could be applied into a developing market like Vietnam,
and whether these relationships are moderated by country of origin (USA
versus China). Data from 485 Vietnamese customers illustrate that most of
the main effects are significant except for the relationship between
ethnocentrism and product judgement, and the relationship between
cosmopolitanism and willingness to buy. Furthermore, out of the three
moderation effects, the influence of country of origin on the relationship
between ethnocentrism and willingness to buy is significant. The paper
concludes with theoretical and managerial implications, limitations, and
future research.

标题: Country-of-origin effects on Chinese wine consumers
来源出版物: BRITISH FOOD JOURNAL
卷: 108
期: 5
页: 396-412
DOI: 10.1108/00070700610661367
出版年: 2006
摘要: Purpose - The paper seeks to examine Chinese consumers'
wine-purchasing behaviour and, more especially, the importance of country
of origin (COO) effects in the evaluation and assessment of wine quality and
as it relates to decision making for wine purchases.
Design/methodology/approach - The data for this study were collected in
2004 through an interviewer-administered, structured questionnaire
targeted at randomly selected wine buyers in the ChangNing district of
Shanghai (China). Chinese consumers tend to purchase wine primarily for
sensorial reasons, consuming it on social occasions. Wine has never
acquired the connotations of being merely a thirst-quenching drink as it did
in some European countries. They are also attracted to wine for its health
benefits.
Findings - It was found that Chinese consumers are more likely to use
extrinsic cues than intrinsic cues to evaluate wine quality. Thus, COO
information is a significantly more important cue than price for Chinese
consumers as a quality cue. However, there appears to be no significant
difference in the importance of COO and brand in this regard. Wine is a
complex product - small differences in any one of a huge range of variables,
from the weather, through the grape, the production method, the storage
and even the bottling can affect quality. As might be expected in a market
that is relatively under-developed and which has a smaller experience of
wine drinking than some other parts of the world, Chinese consumers pay
much more attention to COO when they purchase wine for special
occasions, where their choice is exposed to the judgment of others. By
contrast, when purchasing wine for their own private consumption, COO
assumes a lesser importance.
Originality/value - This research can significantly help wine marketers to
develop more effective positioning strategies in China. It will also help in
the development of pricing and promotional decisions.

标题: Countering negative country-of-origin effects The role of evaluation
mode
来源出版物: EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MARKETING

摘要: Purpose - As multinational firms seek to acquire competitive cost
advantages through global sourcing, it is also important for them to
develop effective strategies to reduce possible damage of a negative
country-of-origin (COO) effect. This study aims to examine whether brand
image and evaluation mode could alleviate a negative COO effect.
Design/methodology/approach - A 2(COO) x 2(brand) x 2(evaluation mode)
experimental design was employed in order to examine whether brand and
COO effects on product evaluation vary under different evaluation modes.
The data were analyzed by a repeated measure MANOVA.
Findings - The results showed that products made in favourable countries
were rated higher in joint evaluation mode than in separate evaluation
mode. Conversely, products made in unfavourable countries were better
evaluated in separate evaluation mode than in joint evaluation mode. The
results of the study are not in favour of the notion that a strong brand
image could overcome the negative effect of COO.
Research limitations/implications - Conclusions of the study suggest that
the COO effect plays an equally important role in consumer product
evaluation for both strong and weak brands. Thus, even for a product with
strong brand image, the negative consequences of COO stemming from
consumer unfavourable attitudes towards the manufacturing country are
not likely to be completely eliminated. Moreover, to alleviate the negative
impact of unfavourable COO, marketers may want to avoid direct
comparison between products made in unfavourable countries with those
made in favourable countries, regardless of their brand strength.
Practical implications - When marketing a product made in an unfavourable
country, marketers should manage to create a selling environment
facilitating a separate evaluation mode. In contrast, marketers should
proactively manage to display products from favourable countries along
with those from unfavourable countries in order to further enhance quality
perceptions.
Originality/value - The results of the study could help marketers employ
advantageous merchandizing or advertising strategies to lessen the
negative effect of COO.

摘要: With preferential trade agreements on the rise worldwide rules of
origin-which are necessary to prevent trade deflection-are attracting
increasing attention. At the same time, preference erosion for Generalized
System of Preferences (GSP) recipients is increasing resistance to further
multilateral negotiations. Drawing on different approaches, this article
shows that the current system of rules of origin that is used by the European
Union and the United States in preferential trade agreements (including the
GSP) and that is similar to systems used by other Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development countries should be drastically simplified if
developed economies really want to help developing economies integrate
into the world trading system. In addition to diverting resources for
administrative tasks, current rules of origin carry significant compliance
costs. More fundamentally, it is becoming increasingly clear that they are
often been designed to force developing economies to buy inefficient
intermediate products from developed economies to "pay for" preferential
access for the final product. The evidence also suggests that a significant
share of the rents associated with market access (net of rules of origin
compliance costs) is captured by developed economies. Finally, the
restrictiveness of rules of origin is found to be beyond the levels that would
be justified to prevent trade deflection, suggesting a capture by special
interest groups. The article outlines some alternative paths to reforms.

摘要: Integrating signaling and institutional perspectives, we develop and
test hypotheses relating institutions and corporate governance to foreign
IPO success. Our investigation highlights the importance of three important
drivers of foreign IPO success: home country legal institutions, corporate
governance, and host capital market choice. This research demonstrates
that board independence and country of origin effects are powerful signals.
However, these factors do not have a universal impact on foreign IPO
success. Instead, the value of home country institutions along with
corporate governance signals are contingent upon the institutional
environment in which international entrepreneurs choose to seek capital
resources. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of
consumer ethnocentrism and country of origin across different immigrant
communities.
Design/methodology/approach - A survey was used to collect data
fromimmigrants in the USA and Mexico.
Findings - For immigrants with high levels of ethnocentrism, the bias for
home and host country products interacts with the country of origin effect
and creates multiple scenarios where the two effects move in the same or
opposite directions. For immigrants with low levels of ethnocentrism, on the
other hand, the country of origin effect alone is salient.
Research limitations/implications - The authors used a modified version of
CETSCALE. Future research should revisit the content and dimensionality of
consumer ethnocentrism in immigrant and other multicultural settings.
Practical implications - Both scholars and practitioners should exercise
caution when working with ethnocentrism and country of origin as today's
societies are increasingly multicultural, which requires major modifications
to the theories and tools.
Social implications - Similar to ways in which the US Census Bureau enabled
multicultural consumers to assert their mixed identities, scholarly and
business circles should embrace multiculturalism and empower immigrants.
Originality/value - Previous studies of consumer ethnocentrism and country
of origin in multicultural contexts have restricted themselves to only one
pattern of migration: consumers who move from developing to developed
countries. The paper addresses this limitation by investigating various
patterns of migration (including lateral, upward and downward) in multiple
first-generation immigrant communities in two countries.

摘要: Purpose This study aims to provide a contemporary, holistic and
systematic review regarding the impact of country-of-origin on industrial
purchase decision-making by ascertaining, synthesizing and evaluating
theoretical, methodological and empirical dimensions of studies on the
subject. Design/methodology/approach After the collection and refinement
of 43 studies that appeared in marketing, business and management
literatures during 1970-2017, systematic review was applied to discover the
current situation and future research directions on the subject. Findings The
vast majority of the existing studies obtained data from a single source even
though industrial purchase decisions are mainly made by a large group of
decision-makers. Moreover, the existing literature contains few
over-studied theoretical perspectives while lacking integration of the
subject with the more contemporary ones. Additionally, in the literature,
combination of developing countries as source countries, and developed
ones as target countries, is under-examined, and the differentiation
between country-of-design and country-of-assembly is mainly avoided
during operationalization. Finally, majority of the studies lack investigation
of antecedents and mainly investigated few over-examined constructs as
outcomes.
Research limitations/implications - This study provides a conceptual
synthesis of existing studies. A meta-analysis may be applied to empirical
studies for providing a further detailed framework.
Originality/value - This study contributes to industrial marketing literature
by providing a compiled and synthesized inventory of knowledge for
scholars; deriving a comprehensive analysis of research designs,
methodologies and findings addressed by researchers in the field; noticing
various theoretical, methodological and other gaps to be examined; and
providing future research directions.

摘要: In the current economic climate, select countries, previously stable, are
finding themselves in economic crisis. When going through these crises,
countries risk an even worse situation if foreign consumers develop
negative perceptions of their country that lead to reduced interest in
purchasing their goods. This study examines the impact of country
economic crisis status on product purchase likelihood while considering the
ability of advertising strategies to attenuate the negative crisis effects.
Empirical results suggest that when compared to economically healthy
countries, those facing economic crisis are also plagued by negative
country of origin (COO) effects resulting in reductions in product purchase
likelihood.

摘要: The recent wave of luxury ventures in China has created an important
need to understand luxury brand-building in China. A critical component of
this research domain is the concept of country-of-origin (CoO). Chinese
ventures use multiple country associations which makes the country one of
the most suitable places to study the new phenomenon of hybrid brands.
This marks a new stage in the evolution of CoO research. Findings
stemming from a conceptual research and an explorative study are used to
develop a conceptual model for managing CoO affiliations for hybrid
brands within the context of Chinese luxury brands. Practical implications
will help brand managers to understand which CoO facets make a luxury
brand 'Chinese' and, on the other hand, how to improve brand prestige with
Western CoO cues. (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of

摘要: Migration movements are presently a worldwide phenomenon; all
groups of migrant workers, regardless of their origin or generation, have
common problems. Return migrants' problems and their solution concern
the emigration countries as well as the immigration countries. 3 proposals
for an integrated approach to solving return migrants' problems follow. 1)
Provide general assistance to the returning migrants. a) Statistical
information about migrants and causes of their return should be gathered.
b) Job placement assistance should be available to the returnees. c)
Migrants should be assisted with travel and removal expenses. d) Their
children's education should be facilitated by education in their mother
tongue, travel to the home country during vacations, readaptation courses,
and acceptance of diplomas and certificates obtained abroad. e) All
emigration countries should accept a simplified and extended form of
second retirement program to protect emigrants' social security rights. 2)
Provide vocational training and readaptation. a) Home countries should
seek ways to profit from the skill and knowledge returning migrant workers
offer. b) Young skilled returnees should be employed as teachers and
trainers. c) Vocational training centers should be developed and
maintained. d) Course certificates obtained abroad should be accepted in
the home country. 3) Create new job opportunities for returnees. a) Small
businesses and grants to start private businesses should be encouraged. b)
Technical and financial assistance should be provided to workers'
companies. c) Migrant workers' savings should be directed to areas that are
productive and that create employment possibilities. d) Possible return
migration may be facilitated by issuing shares in investment projects with
preferences, guaranteeing exchange rates, allowing accounts in foreign
currencies, issuing government bonds with preferences, developing special
aid funds for housing schemes, guaranteeing migrant workers' enterprises,
and by offering returning migrants the option to buy shares in companies
against foreign currency.

标题: The central role of the reputation of country-of-origin firms in

摘要: Purpose - This study aims to test the central role of the perceived
reputation of country-of-origin (COO) firms between cultural and
socio-psychological variables and management and economic variables
that help to explain the multi-faceted phenomenon of COO on a
developing market. It also tests the moderator role of ethnocentrism, which
is the objective of recommending different segment marketing strategies
for international firms.
Design/methodology/approach - The study opted for the structure
equation modelling methodology to analyze data collected from 274
Mexican car owners who evaluate Korean automobiles.
Findings - The results show that the COO reputation of firms from a
developing market has a mediating role on the relationship between
cultural openness and animosity and trust, risk and purchase intention, but
the consequents of the perceived reputation of COO vary depending on the
level of consumers' ethnocentrism.
Research limitations/implications - Firms seeking to internationalize need
to find out how to overcome the hurdle of target market animosity, to
increase the cultural openness and to promote trust and purchases in
international markets; at the same time, they reduce the perception of risk.
In this sense, it might help to increase the perceived reputation of COO
firms and to use different marketing strategies according to the target
market.
Originality/value - This study analyzes reputation of firms associated to a
COO as a signal that can help to solve purchase decisions in the relationship
between consumers and firms from developing markets and also
corroborates its role as a mediator factor. In addition, this study empirically
tests how animosity and cultural openness influence perceived reputation
of COO firms, relationships that has scarcely been studied in literature. This
study has also found that less and more ethnocentric consumers have
differences in how the COO cues influence on their evaluations and
behaviour. Finally, as insufficient consumer research has been conducted
into emerging and developing markets, this study focuses on consumers
from a developing country and regards automobiles from an emerging
country.

摘要: During the last two decades numerous societies have experienced
major political, economic and social transformations. Many of them
resulted in splitting of the former states and formation of new political
units. New countries often emerged or re-emerged after the breakdown of
the multinational political entities that had been founded on certain
historical events and political power. This process has created new sets of
attitudes towards countries and their products among the consumers of the
countries that previously belonged to the same political unit. We presume
that the most complex scope of perceptions has been developed towards
the countries that previously were assumed as possessing formal or
informal superiority over others in the conglomerate. When evaluating the
products from such countries, consumers may be influenced by the product
country-of-origin (COO) factor in a more complex way than usual, where
ethnocentrism, nostalgia and possible animosity towards the country are
involved.
The research disclosed some unexpected findings. Unlike in the other
studies on animosity, the analysis showed a correlation among animosity
towards the country and the evaluation of its products: In addition,
nostalgia appeared to be an important antecedent to animosity and was
linked with ethnocentrism. Although these findings may be interpreted on
the basis of the specific context analysis, our study outlines several
directions for further research rather than draws firm conclusions.

摘要: This paper deals with the effects of partitioned country-of-origin
associations on consumer product quality evaluations. The main objective
of this research is to examine the cognitive processes by which
country-of-origin information influences the consumer's evaluation of a
product. To study the psychological process by which the country-of-origin
associations are integrated in the formation of related behavioural
deliberation, a hypothetical structural model was developed. The model
contains seven theoretical constructs, i.e. country of design, perceived
product sophistication, country of assembly, perceived manufacturing
excellence, country of parts, perceived product quality and perceived
product design. Data were analysed via structural equation models using
Analysis of MOment Structures (AMOS) 5.0. Results show that countries
that already have positioned themselves around a reputation for
technological innovation related to product development and
manufacturing may expect consumers to transfer those associations to new
products from the country.

摘要: Purpose - This paper aims to investigate if trust plays a mediating role
on the country-of-origin (COO) brand reputation and consumer animosity
effects in determining consumers' purchase intentions in both emerging
and developed markets.
Design/methodology/approach - The paper opted for the structure
equation modelling methodology to analyse data collected from 476
Spanish and Mexican car owners who evaluate American automobiles.
Findings - The results show that in the emerging market economy, the
COO's brand reputation influences trust and purchase intention more than
in the mature market. Also, the results show that although trust plays an
important role in different markets because it mediates the effect of COO's
brand reputation on consumers' purchase intention in both emerging and
mature economies, it does not mediate the effect of animosity on purchase
intention in the analysed developed economy.
Research limitations/implications - The chosen category product presents
the shortcoming of being of a hybrid nature regarding their manufacturing
origin and research results may not be generalizable since we consider one
product of one COO.
Practical implications - COO's brand reputation is a key trigger of trust, and
can substitute absent regulatory institutional elements, especially in
emerging markets. In emerging markets, animosity could play an important
role in explaining the rejection of foreign products, but the increase of trust
could mitigate its negative effect on purchase intention.
Originality/value - This study distinguishes the mediating role of trust
between different interrelated COO variables and consumers' purchase
intentions in two different national contexts, and offers evidence that good
COO's brand reputation building is crucial for international marketing
success.

摘要: The aim of the study is to find the determinants of the decision to
purchase medical services in other countries. The following hypothesis is
tested: the image of the country of origin, the power of the country and the
origin of the consumer influence the consumer's intentions to purchase
medical services. An international comparison has been carried out, in
which 264 respondents from Poland, Germany and Lithuania have
participated. The data have been collected with the use of a questionnaire
form developed by the authors, and they have been analysed with a mixed
regression analysis. The results show that the readiness to purchase medical
services differs, depending on the country of origin of services, the power of
the country and the origin of the consumer. The results of the research can
be applied in business practice and in the strategies developed by
institutions shaping the image of the country and positioning it in the
international context.

摘要: This paper develops a partial-equilibrium model of a small
open-economy trading an unsafe product. The model is used to analyze the
welfare effects of trade with and without a country-of-origin labeling
(COOL) program. The welfare gains from trade in the absence of COOL are
ambiguous, may justify the imposition of a trade ban. Even if a full ban does
not improve welfare and some restriction of trade is always
welfare-enhancing. Under a tariff regime, more COOL trade is better than
less trade. Independently of domestic market power, free trade coupled
with a COOL program maximizes national welfare. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All

摘要: Purpose The present study was designed to investigate the factors
that prompt ex-host country nationals (EHCNs) to return to their country of
origin, specifically, India. In order to identify specific factors that guide the
decision to return, we examined several categories of reasons why
members of the Indian diaspora who have lived/worked abroad may
choose to return to India. Design/methodology/approach Using a sample
of 98 executives from Southern India, this exploratory study sheds light on
the emerging phenomenon of "brain circulation" advanced by Saxenian
(2005) where highly qualified professionals (human talent, in short) ply
between their country of origin (COO) and country of residency (COR). The
authors investigate (i) their overall impression of their COO, (ii) the reasons
they believe their company transferred them to India in the event of
company-sponsored relocations, (iii) the impediments they face in
performing their jobs in their COO, and (iv) their level of satisfaction with
various aspects of their assignment, whether company-sponsored or
self-initiated assignments. Findings The findings of this study indicate that
EHCNs were driven by several unique factors in their decision to return to
their COO, including (i) quality of life, (ii) better career opportunities, (iii)
remuneration and (iv) family reasons.
Research limitations/implications - The findings of this study should help
scholars develop theoretical models that can help explain the factors that
determine the decision-making process of EHCNs related to returning to
their COO. Furthermore, while our study was conducted in India, the factors
guiding the decisions of the EHCNs are clearly universal, such as quality of
life and opportunities for self. Practical implications - Overall, the EHCNs in
our sample were happy with their decision to return to live and work in
India, thus suggesting that it would not be very problematic for the Indian
government to attract them to return home to satisfy the growing demand
for human talent associated with inward and outward foreign direct
investment to/from India.
Originality/value Given the Indian government's continuing efforts to
attract qualified EHCNs to return to India and contribute to the growth of
the economy, our study offers specific insights into what motivates
individuals to return to their COO.

标题: Expatriates of Host-Country Origin in South Eastern Europe:
Management Rationales in the Finance Sector

摘要: Multinational companies coming to grips with the major challenges of
international staffing have developed a new practice. In recent years
management scholars observed the assignment of so-called 'expatriates of
host-country origin' (EHCOs), that is, employees of migrant backgrounds in
the companies' parent country sent to work in their country of origin. This
paper explores management rationales behind this practice focusing on the
posting of employees to transition economies in south eastern Europe.
Data from Austrian banks and insurance firms operating in Bosnia and
Herzegovina and in Croatia provide the empirical basis. The analysis reveals
that headquarters' management believe that due to their specific
competencies EHCOs facilitate the relationship between the headquarters
and the subsidiary, enhance resource accrual and offer competitive
advantage. As institutional complexity in the host country and the cultural
distance between parent and host countries increase, so do the relative
advantages of EHCOs for management.

标题: Are consumers' minds or hearts guiding country of origin effects?
Conditioning roles of need for cognition and need for affect

摘要: Contributing to research on consumer segmentation in the context of
country-of-origin (COO) effects, the current study focuses on the need for
cognition (NFC) and need for affect (NFA) as conditioning variables on the
links between country image and attitude towards the country on the one
hand and consumers' product-country image (PCI) assessments on the
other. We conduct two studies: one in a highly developed, EU-member
country (Austria, N = 203) and one in a developing CEE country (Bosnia &
Herzegovina, N = 195). Our findings show that NFC and NFA have opposing
influences on the aforementioned relationships in Austria. In contrast, in
Bosnia & Herzegovina we find no significant interaction effects as well as a
non-significant relationship between attitude towards the country and PCI.
Overall, our results indicate that the utility of NFC and NFA as segmentation
variables is country-specific and reveal cross-country differences in the
operation of COO effects.

摘要: This study explored country-of-origin image (Col) based on legitimacy
theory. The comments and discussions about Chinese products' Cot from
both Indian and American customers on public websites were collected and
analyzed. The findings show that Coils essentially a kind of recognition and
judgment of a product's legitimacy. Customers judge a Chinese product's
pragmatic legitimacy and social legitimacy through both a performance
image and institution image aspect of the Col, respectively. The findings can
advance our understanding of Cot phenomena and provide guidance for
international marketers in developing countries to manage country-related
information more effectively. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

摘要: This paper examines the relationship between an organization's
country-of-origin and the acceptance into a host country environment by
constituents such as vendors, suppliers, and distributors. This study
contributes to the literature by proposing the examination and ultimate
measurement of various tangible and intangible sources of the 'liabilities of
foreignness'. Additionally we show that are these sources are internal and
external moderators of perceived acceptance in the host country. Manager
must recognize the country-of-origin strategic options to address the
negative overshadowing of the liability-of foreignness. We conclude that
not doing so can create a stigma that may be attached to the overall
organization, its image, products, brands, and to its employees. Further,
negative attribution may be caste upon all the identifying characteristics of
the foreign entity. The management of the firm must note the potential
resistance to accept the organization and its products/services and must
develop a proactive set of strategies to address the negativism of the host
country constituents. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

摘要: The dairy incident in 2008 influenced Chinese residents' attitudes
towards domestic and foreign brands in the market. This paper highlights
the strong consumer perceptions existing in the Chinese dairy market
towards the country of origin of dairy products. Chinese residents generally
believe dairy products from foreign countries are superior than those from
China. A new theoretical framework is developed to explore the driving
factors of country-of-effects and its corresponding impacts. Consumers'
image of different countries and national stereotypes, consumer
ethnocentrism and animosity, product familiarity and experience, product
involvement and some cultural value differences were found to drive
country-of-origin effects. These effects directly impact on consumer's
perceived quality, brand awareness, brand association and loyalty towards
the related goods in the market, then influence the brand equity of
products from different countries. This study provides a better
understanding of country-of-origin effects on consumer behaviour, and will
help relevant domestic and foreign firms improve their business strategies
in China.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate how companies
entering the Chinese market integrate brand image and country image,
how they redefine this integration in the corporate rebranding process
adopted to develop the new market, and what impact they achieve in terms
of commercial and economic results. Design/methodology/approach - The
research is based on the analysis of the cases of Alpha and Beta. Alpha is a
multinational company specialized in the production of chocolate, while
Beta is one of the world's largest companies in the tyre industry. These
cases are emblematic for the way the two companies combine brand
attributes and country image attributes. Findings - The case analysis shows
that: initially in the corporate rebranding strategy defined in China, brand
image is created independently from the country image; the impact of the
integration on brand attitude is sought by producing a cross-fertilization
between the meaning of brand attitude and of country image attitude; the
level of integration (country-of-manufacture, country-of-design) embodies
the aim of the integration itself; and the differentiation of the country image
for different brands passes through a phase of focalization.
Originality/value - The study identifies practices that managers can consider
in the definition of the integration strategies involving brand image and
country images that accompany their rebranding processes in the Chinese
market. The analysis of these practices together with the results may help
managers to arrive at pondered decisions concerning integration.

摘要: Purpose This paper extends the institution theory to examine the
relationship between high-performance work system (HPWS) and
organizational performance (OP), and analyzes how country of origin
interacts with performance measures and industrial affiliation in
moderating the HPWS-OP relationship. Design/methodology/approach
The paper collects data of 60,142 firms and establishments in 252 studies
published up to December 2021 and employs meta-analysis techniques to
test hypotheses on the role of country of origin in moderating the
HPWS-OP relationship in conjunction with performance measures and
industrial affiliation. Findings The paper finds that, firstly, there is a positive
relationship between HPWS and OP, but the relationship is much stronger
in developing than advanced countries. Secondly, the relationship is
stronger when OP is measured in operational than financial term in both
developing and advanced countries, but the moderating effect of
performance measures is stronger in developing than advanced countries.
Thirdly, the relationship is stronger in service than manufacturing industries
in developing countries, but no such variation is found in advanced
countries. Originality/value The study for the first time unveils the
important role of country of origin in interacting with performance
measures and industry affiliation to condition the HPWS-OP relationship,
and provides a coherent explanation based on institutional theory. The
study sheds fresh light on the HPWS-OP relationship, and has important
implications for managers.

摘要: Purpose - The global cosmetics industry is an attractive business
opportunity. This paper aims to study country of origin effects among
Lebanese consumers' purchase of shampoo.
Design/methodology/approach - The research tests four hypotheses in
respect of country of origins' impact on shampoo purchase decisions and
concludes with marketing implications. A questionnaire was administered
to 332 consumers to test four hypotheses concerning the impact of country
of origin. Findings - The data confirmed that there are no differences in
either the overall quality perceptions of the product or the attribute
evaluation of shampoos sourced from different countries; but the purchase
intent of consumers for certain brands is affected by changes in the country
of origin of the shampoo. In a low consumer involvement category such as
shampoo, country of origin is not one of the key attributes affecting choice
of Lebanese consumers. Purchase is driven either by practical objectives
such as benefits or by experiential pleasures. Practical implications Marketers should strive to develop a leadership position in consumers'
minds. Marketers should attempt to leverage or build brand awareness.
Originality/value - Globally the cosmetics industry represents an attractive
business opportunity. The growth trend for industry is positive with new
growth opportunities in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
The study provides insight into one growth area and indicates that more
research in this area would be of value.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore country-of-origin
(COO) effects on service evaluation in an emerging market.
Design/methodology/approach - To gain insight, 24 in-depth interviews
were conducted with stakeholders in five West African countries. A conjoint
analysis was also conducted to further explore COO effects.
Findings - Propositions were developed based on findings from the
qualitative study and conjoint analysis. Situational personal characteristics,
such as motivation and ability to process information, may influence use of
COO attributes in evaluating a service. Individual characteristics, such as
ethnocentrism and culture orientation, may influence COO preference in
service evaluation.
Practical implications - Propositions and findings will assist firms
considering entering a market in terms of service offerings and positioning
strategies.
Originality/value - While COO and consumer products have been widely
studied in the literature, mostly within the contexts of industrialized nations,
the paper examines COO effects with a service within the context of an
emerging market.

摘要: There is a dearth of new product design research that investigates the
impact of varying levels of design newness coupled with technical newness
on consumer evaluations for incremental and radical innovations across
utilitarian and hedonic product categories through the lens of
country-oforigin (COO). In today's world, innovation may originate from
both developed and emerging economies. Our research investigates
consumer responses when incrementally new and/or radically new products
come from developed as well as developing countries. Through four
experimental studies, we found that consumers preferred high level of
design newness in incrementally innovative utilitarian product category and
low level of design newness in radically innovative utilitarian product
category when products originate from developed countries (developed
COO situation). High level of design newness was preferred for both
incrementally new and really (radically) new utilitarian products originating
from developing countries (emerging COO situation). In contrast,
consumers preferred high level of design newness in both incrementally
and radically innovative hedonic product categories during developed COO
situation; and consumers preferred high level of design newness for
incrementally new hedonic products while avoiding radically new hedonic
products completely during emerging COO situation. The results have
important implications for researchers and managers in developing
incremental and radical innovations by understanding differential
performance effects of levels of design and technical newness with respect
to developed versus emerging COO situations and consumer purchase
intentions.

摘要: Purpose Migrants experience challenges settling into a new society,
while retaining their cultural and religious values. Concurrently facing an
end-of-life illness can result in existential distress affecting quality of dying.
This study aimed to explore the lived experience of migrants dying away
from their country of birth or origin.
Methods The study design used a phenomenological approach using
Heidegger's philosophy to gather and interpret dying migrants' stories.
Participants were a purposive sample of New Zealand immigrants
experiencing end-of-life illness and under hospice care. Participants were
interviewed at home. Coherent stories were drawn from the transcribed
interviews and analysed using iterative methods. Interpretive notions were
formed through contemplation and writing.
Results The ten participants, seven males and three females, were of
different ethnicities and countries of origin. Three notions emerged. The
first was dual possession of a new hybrid identity developed in their
adoptive country, and an inner ethnic and cultural identity, in varying
degrees of harmony with each other. The second was being in life
reviewreliving homeland memories and letting go of dreams. The third
notion showed how they sought resolution by enacting continuity through
their children, hoping for a final homeland visit, or conveying their dying
wishes.
Conclusions How life review was enacted for each migrant and resolution
depended on finding some degree of belonging in their country of
adoption. Implications for end-of-life care include education to increase
practitioner awareness and use of formal and informal life review.
Enhancing spiritual well-being can assist resolution of end-of-life
adjustment.

摘要: FDI flows in China have increased for decades, but the sectoral and
country-origin distribution change over times. Chinese FDI inflows have
experienced a shift from manufacturing to real estate and service sectors. A
series of factors including labor cost increase, currency appreciation,
overcapacity of production, domestic competition rise and US trade war
cause negative effects on manufacturing FDI flows. However, rising
purchasing power, consumer demand and market capacity create new
opportunities for foreign business in China. The government makes efforts
to nurture service trade as an engine of economic growth alongside trade in
goods. Many incentive policies have been launched for numerous service
industries. These are the push hand behind the rapid rise in service FDI. The
neighboring countries or regions in Asia and free trade ports with taxation
advantages contribute vast majority of the FDI in China. Hong Kong's status
as the largest supplier of FDI to the mainland has become increasingly
prominent over the past 20 years, partially due to so called "round-trip" FDI.
Chinese economic diplomacy promotes regional integration in East and
Southeast Asia, and creates conditions for the liberalization of
intra-regional investment. Closer trade connections with European
countries boost the EU investment in China over recent years. Our studies of
FDI's structural changes in China can generate policy implications widely for
the government, foreign companies and investors, as well as developing
countries committed to FDI attraction.

摘要: This paper improves renewal payment based patent value model by
introducing unexpired patents into the model. We estimate value of the
invention patents based on SIPO records in China and compare values of
patents between local owners and owners from the U.S., Japan and
European countries. The study reveals that patent value from Chinese
owners is much lower than that of overseas owners. This larger value gap
implies important difference in motive of the patenting and R&D quality
between China and those technology intensive sources usually from
economically advanced countries and regions. The model developed in this
study is also applied to patent data in different technical fields, successfully
differing technical sectors with higher value (e.g., machinery) and those with
lower value (e.g., pharmaceuticals), in terms of China market based patent
records. Both applications prove that the newly developed model can be an
important analytical tool for providing classified patent value on different
purposes, especially in case of China. Crown Copyright (C) 2012 Published

and validated a scale to measure the importance of the incorporation of the
COI as a resource in a firm's international strategy, the COI-CSA. Several
psychometric procedures were adopted. We analysed data gathered from
two case studies, validation procedures with experts and researchers, and
three data sets from executives working in internationalised firms. The
results validate the COI-CSA scale as a multidimensional construct reflected
in a set of four dimensions: textual and visual elements, senses, cultural
resources, and natural resources.

摘要: As emerging (and developing) country firms internationalize, they
often need to build legitimacy to overcome home-country liabilities. We
argue that international legitimacy is at risk if these firms do harm in the
conduct of their business, and we investigate the extent to which host
countries' speech and press freedoms influence corporate social
irresponsibility (CSIR) for a sample of Multilatinas, observed during the
period 2003-2012. We do find evidence of lower CSIR among Multilatinas
which have adopted explicit CSR policies, and have higher levels of
investment in countries characterized by strong speech and press freedoms.

摘要: The effects of organics and country of origin (COO) on consumers'
food choices have mostly been investigated separately. In order to
investigate the joint effect of these two credence quality cues and when
they influence choice, a choice-based conjoint (CBC) experiment was
conducted in Germany, France, Denmark, China and Thailand. In each
country, a sample of about 1000 consumers participated after being
screened for responsibility for their household's shopping, consumption of
the case product, and knowledge of organic food. A full factorial design
with four COOS, three different organic label conditions and three price
levels gave 36 different choice options. They were bundled in 12 choice sets
of three alternatives, which were presented in random order. The product
was either drinking milk or pork chops (random assignment). The study
revealed a general preference for organics over conventional and for
domestic over imported products, with exceptions to the latter in emerging
markets. Among imported foods, there is a tendency to prefer foods from
economically developed over less developed countries, also in the two
Asian countries. Adding consistent quality cues have a decreasing marginal
effect, but a favourable cue can compensate for an unfavourable one. The
extent to which consumer choice is influenced by organic labels and COO
depends on environmental concern, trust in countries as producers of
organic food, and ethnocentrism.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide an understanding of
the country-of-origin (COO) effect on overseas distributors' behaviour in
international marketing channels. Integrating the theory of planned
behaviour (TPB) and the concepts of country-induced biases, the current
study develops an empirically testable model that explains and predicts
overseas distributors' behaviour in international marketing channels.
Design/methodology/approach - Hypotheses were tested using primary
data stemmed from a survey of channel relationships between exporters
and their overseas distributors. Data were collected from 103 distributors in
the USA.
Findings - Empirical evidence shows that attitude towards foreign brands,
social valuation of the origin of brands, and perceived behavioural control
affect overseas distributors' intention to place foreign brands. In addition,
country-induced bias factors - buyer animosity and country-related affect
to the origin of manufacture - are considered to be the antecedents of
attitude towards foreign brands.
Research limitations/implications - Because this study adopted a
cross-sectional design, the limitations of this method can be applied to the
study. In addition, because of the research context, the results of the
present research may lack generalizability. This manuscript, however,
integrated the TPB and the concepts of country-induced biases and
addressed the calls for research on the COO effects on overseas
distributors' decision in international marketing channels.
Practical implications - The manuscript suggests that to build positive
attitudes towards foreign brands, a firm should focus on promotions
through various media in international markets to lower animosity and the
perceived risk to the origin of manufacture. In addition, firms with foreign
brands need to identify and target a segment that feels comfortable about
spending their resources on those brands. Finally, international marketers
should focus on creating positive attitudes towards foreign brand goods
and proper pricing strategies.
Originality/value - This manuscript fills the knowledge gap of the COO
effect on organizational buyer behaviour in international marketing
channels.

摘要: This article assesses how the utilization of trade agreements responds
to rules of origin revisions that allow for more foreign content in exported
products. Using the revision of the rules of origin for apparel products
under the European Union's generalized system of preferences as a case
study, and a triple-difference empirical framework, the results indicate that
rules of origin act as a significant bottleneck to least developed countries'
(LDCs) use of trade preferences. However, heterogeneity in the response of
utilization rates across products and LDCs suggests rules of origin revisions
may not be a panacea.

摘要: Food safety and quality certificates can be viewed as credence
characteristics because different actors (e.g. intermediaries, processors,
retailers, consumers) in the food supply chain are not able to observe the
quality of the audits in situ. This becomes more critical in the international
food trade as information asymmetries increase with time and distance and
the credibility of the standard behind the certificate may decrease as a
consequence. In this context, the aim of this study was to assess from a
global perspective the effect of country image on the perceived credibility
of food standards. Data were collected through an on-line survey during
Spring 2010. In total, responses provided by 301 practitioners from
developed and developing countries were analysed. Respondents were
asked to evaluate the credibility of food standards from eight countries
(Ghana, Italy, Australia, Mexico, China, UK, India and USA). Data were
analysed using descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-test and
Mann-Whitney U tests. Principal component analysis was used to
categorise groups of standards according to their perceived credibility. The
findings reveal that country image exerts a significant influence on
practitioners' credibility assessments of food standards. Standards from the
UK were perceived as the most credible whereas standards from China were
perceived as the least credible. Based on the results of this study, we discuss
some implications for food suppliers and policy makers.

摘要: This research aims to update the factors influencing consumer
purchase of luxury goods and, more specifically, to consider the combined
effect of brand and country of origin (CoO) on the purchasing decision. This
article extends an exploratory phase constructed from qualitative data
previously gathered on this topic. The study includes administering a
questionnaire online in seven countries (China, France, India, Italy, Japan,
Russia, and the USA) to a total sample of 1102 respondents. The richness of
this research relates to the possibility of an intercultural analysis of the
results from seven countries. These results concern the differences in the
relative importance of components of the consumer decision-making
process in respect of the purchase of luxury and non-luxury goods: the
relative importance of CoO for consumers making purchasing decisions
relating to luxury goods; and the variation in consumers' decision-making
criteria depending on the maturity of the luxury market. This research
allows the authors to confirm, develop, and generalize results previously
obtained in the exploratory phase of their work. They are interesting in
terms of management recommendations for a company that wishes to
expand internationally in a geographic area covered by the study, since the
research found significant differences. The results of the research contribute
also to the theoretical controversy concerning the importance of CoO in the
consumer decision-making process. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights

标题: How country of origins of food products compete and grow

摘要: This study proposes an alternative approach to the usual cognitive
investigation of the purchasing behaviour for food products by
country-of-origin (COO). The new approach is based on two well-known
behavioural models: the Negative Binomial Distribution and the Dirichlet
model. Using two large datasets of actual purchasing of COOs of wine and
butter in the UK, the study finds that both models are capable of describing
and predicting COO purchasing behaviour in a probabilistic and
polygamous manner (not loyal to one origin). The study also identifies
several important patterns of COO purchases that are associated with these
models, including the double jeopardy pattern and the duplication of
purchase pattern. These patterns can be used to develop strategy to grow
product sales based on COO. They can also be used to evaluate the effects
of marketing interventions, such as origin-based promotions and
communications based on COO.

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the consistency over
time of customer attitude towards country-of-origin in a transitional
economy.
Design/methodology/approach A single cross-sectional study in
Uzbekistan was carried out, with n=527, consisting of 374 street and 153
online surveys, replicating a study carried out 20 years earlier.
Findings Whilst consumers still perceive products from advanced countries
to have higher quality, quality perception in relation to country-of-origin
information is dynamic and transitional countries can improve the
perception of consumers towards their national brands.
Research limitations/implications This study was carried out in Tashkent,
the capital of Uzbekistan, the most populous of the Central Asian republics.
Researchers may wish to extend it by examining COO effects in other
transitional economies, and additionally to examine the effect of
country-of-brand origin.
Practical implications Customer perceptions and attitudes take a long-time
to evolve. This cross-sectional study showed that the COO perception of
China has improved significantly and the perception towards the products
produced locally in Uzbekistan has also slightly improved across all
categories. Strong brands can contribute to the image of the country.
Transition countries need to take appropriate marketing actions to cultivate
positive perception through innovation and branding.
Originality/value Prior research has been extended by adding new product
categories such as mobile phones, computers, washing machines and air
conditioners. This research shows that government officials and exporters in
developing countries should prioritise strengthening their country's image
to help domestic marketers export and attract foreign investors. The
authors provide insights for marketers to understand the impact of product
country-of-origin on customer purchase intention and its antecedents in
transitional economies, such as Uzbekistan.

标题: Investigating firm heterogeneity in country-of-origin cluster location
choice decisions

DOI: 10.1108/MBR-07-2018-0051

摘要: Purpose This paper aims to analyse which firm-level characteristics
drive their location decisions when investing in a foreign country. Focusing
on origin clusters, the authors will study the potential influence of the home
country context and, in particular, the impact of firm-level factors, both
investor- and investment-related, underlying heterogeneity in their location
choice decisions.
Design/methodology/approach The empirical analysis draws on data
gathered from mainland Chinese MNEs that have invested in Germany
between 2005 and 2013 (269 firms). The authors chose a single host
(Germany) and a single home (China) country for their representativeness
and for methodological reasons to control for country effects. The authors
used a multinomial logit model to assess the effects of the independent
variables on the probability that each of the three location possibilities
would be selected.
Findings The results suggest that investors preferring co-location in origin
clusters have distinct structural and strategic characteristics. From a more
structural point of view, Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) undertaken
by smaller firms and those without prior experience in the EU prefer an area
where there are other Chinese investors. From a more strategic perspective,
these FDI flows are more likely to tap into industry agglomerations when
the investors' objective is strategic asset seeking, and they have less
knowledge-intensive investments.
Practical implications The findings may be of great practical value to
practitioners and policymakers. Knowledge of the advantages and
disadvantages of the types of agglomeration networks can help managers
to balance the rewards and risks in their decision-making and to select a
suitable development path for their FDIs. For policymakers, an
understanding of the structure and formation of different groups of firms in
one location and the characteristics of investors who may enter the location
can help them to improve their regulatory work and to develop policies to
attract investments, thereby enhancing local economic development and
community stability.
Originality/value The research shifts the emphasis of the location choice
decision beyond just where to locate toward with whom to collocate. It also
contributes to the growing research on emerging market multinationals by
providing further insight into understanding of FDI location behavior by
firms from emerging economies.

摘要: Motivation: The online gig economy, where labour is provided via
specialized digital platforms, is an important element of the platform
economy. This market is developing on a global scale. The structure of
supply in the online gig economy and the reasons for the domination of gig
workers from specific countries are still the areas remaining relatively
under-researched.
Aim: The article aims to examine the supply side of the online gig economy
based on the country of origin of gig workers, as well as to explain the
reasons why gig workers from specific countries have dominated the sector.
Results: The analysis of the data from the Oxford Internet Institute proved
that the supply of online labour services in the global market is dominated
by three Asian countries India, Pakistan, Bangladesh - as well as the USA
and the United Kingdom. The preliminary investigation into the
determinants of the supply of labour services indicates that the countries
under research have developed favorable institutional conditions, such as
the universal knowledge of the English language, the right proportion of
Internet users to the population size, the large informal sector, and
considerable labour freedom.

摘要: The economic and social changes occurring in the former socialist and
communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe point to the need for
more intensive consumer-based market research. In the international
research and business use the country-of-origin (COO) labelling has
become one of the factors that distinguish products. The purpose of this
paper is to explore the impact of COO information on brand perception and
the consumer evaluation of other chicken meat properties. The present
article concentrates on the results of the primary quantitative research,
which was carried out using a method of individual personal interviews. A
sample was consisted of was 500 Slovenian poultry meat consumers aged
between 18 and 65 years. Special attention was paid to the COO of chicken
meat. In the research the Slovenian consumers evaluated internal and
external properties of chicken meat originating from various countries. The
survey showed that COO affected the brand perception and evaluation of
other properties of chicken meat. A positive assessment of Slovenian
chicken meat and the impact of chicken meat origin in the process of its
evaluation were evident from the survey. The present study is one of the
first to empirically examine and confirm the impact of COO information on
brand perception and the consumer evaluation of other meat properties.
This research aims to develop a better understanding of the effect of COO
on brand evaluation and other product properties evaluation.

摘要: Background Diaspora communities are a growing source of external
aid and resources to address unmet needs of health systems of their
homelands. Although numerous articles have been published, these
endeavors as a whole have not been systematically assessed. Objective
Examine the available literature to assess activities through which diasporas
engage with the health system in their origin country and what barriers they
face in their interventions. Methods This is a scoping review from
1990-2018 using the PRISMA-Scr framework to examine both
peer-reviewed and gray literature on (1) specific activities through which
diasporas contribute to the health system in their origin country; (2) major
health needs diasporas have tried to address; and (3) barriers faced by
diaspora healthcare efforts. Results The initial search identified 119 articles,
of which 45 were eligible after excluding non-relevant studies. These were
case studies of diaspora contributions to health systems in their origin
country (13), interviews (13), literature reviews (9), general articles on the
topic (4), and correspondences or presentations (6). The healthcare needs
diasporas have sought to address include health workforce emigration
('brain drain') (10), capacity building for research and training (10),
inadequate infrastructure (5), and finances (4). Specific activities included
short-term missions (11), establishing partnerships (9), emigration back to
country of origin (8), specific research and training programs (8), and
financial remittances (5). Specific barriers identified were most commonly
financial need within the origin country (8), lack of sustainability (6),
communication issues (6), lack of intention to return to the origin country
(5), infrastructure (4), and political concerns (3). Conclusion Further research
on how to expand the scope of and reduce barriers to diaspora
engagement is needed to optimize the effectiveness of diaspora
contributions to their origin countries. Metrics and standards should be
developed for assessing impact of diaspora engagement and interventions.

摘要: In countries that have been industrialized for a long time, but not
always elsewhere, low socioeconomic position (SEP) is associated with
ischemic heart disease in men. The authors hypothesized that
socioeconomic development could, via pubertal sex steroids, promote an
atherogenic lipid profile and body shape in men but not in women.
Therefore, they examined the associations of SEP with ischemic heart
disease risk in a developing-country population. The authors used
multivariable regression to examine the associations of SEP with the
metabolic syndrome and its components in 9,746 Chinese adults aged >=
50 years from the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study, phase 2, recruited in
2005-2006. After adjustment for age, smoking, alcohol use, and physical
activity, high SEP at each of three life stages, proxied by parental
possessions in childhood, education, and longest held-occupation, was
inversely associated with the metabolic syndrome in women but not in men.
Higher SEP in men was associated with lower pulse pressure and fasting
plasma glucose level but also with greater waist circumference and a lower
high density lipoprotein cholesterol level. With socioeconomic
development, diet-related hormonal changes at puberty may outweigh the
usual protective effect of social advantage in men, with corresponding
implications for boys currently undergoing the nutrition transition in the
developing world.

摘要: Recent labeling policies in developed countries place new focus on
origin labeling, especially country of origin labeling, for a variety of food
products. It is not clear if this new emphasis on origin is the result of more
ethnocentric consumer preferences for food. We measure consumer
preferences for country of origin in four different international locations
and one domestic control location using a conjoint experiment to test the
null hypotheses that consumers do not have stronger own-country
preferences. In addition, we compare the relative importance of consumer
preferences for origin to their preferences for genetically modified food and
pesticide-free production using attribute coefficients from within location
ordered probit models. The study was conducted in China, France, Niger,
and the United States. We find consumers tend to prefer food from their
own location indicating ethnocentric tendencies do play a role in shaping
country-of-origin preferences. Country of origin is generally less important
to consumers than genetically modified food content and pesticide use in
food production.

摘要: Purpose - This study, conducted in Thailand, aims to examine the
effect of interaction of countryof-origin (COO), brand equity and product
purchase involvement on consumers' evaluation and purchase preference
of Thai brands of fashion apparel made in three nominated Asian countries
of varying levels of manufacturing competence.
Design/methodology/approach - Data from a field survey were analyzed
through a 2 times 2 times 3 factorial design and the influence of a particular
factor over the others in specific scenarios was observed. Findings - This
study suggests that if low purchase involvement apparel with high brand
equity is sourced from a country-of-origin of low perceived competence,
the superior reputation of the brand encourages consumer partiality to the
apparel's quality and purchase inclination. However, this study has
evidenced that a brand of modest equity sourced from the
under-developed economy is capable of getting greater consumer support
for its higher end fashion products than for its standard apparel. Practical
implications - That consumers are comfortable with the quality of high-end
fashion items sourced from lesser developed countries suggests that low
equity brands ought not to feel discouraged to enter the high end of the
fashion market particularly if they can offer a price advantage and promise
of guaranteed quality. Research limitations/implications - A more expansive
paper would allow for analysis of interaction effects of additional
combinations of country's competence, brand equity and purchase
involvement on consumers' evaluation and purchase preference.
Originality/value - This study informs brand owners of consumer
expectations of high and low complexity products, made in countries of
differing manufacturing competencies, to deliver desired level of
performances.

摘要: Foreign firms from emergent economies are increasingly seeking
equity capital in developed economies like the United States. Utilizing
institutional, signaling, and agency theories this research examines the
legitimacy of foreign IPOs (initial public offerings) in the United States.
Employing the population of foreign IPOs listed on U.S. stock exchanges
between 1997 and 2004, it is demonstrated that firms from countries with
governmental policies and institutional practices that protect the economic
freedom of its citizens are significantly less underpriced than IPOs of firms
originating from countries experiencing lower levels of economic freedom.
The evidence further indicates that firms from emerging economies can
overcome negative country perceptions associated with lower levels of
legitimacy by increasing their international scope of operations prior to
beginning the IPO process as well as by retaining acceptable levels of
ownership in their respective firms.

摘要: Purpose Country of origin is a well-studied topic for developed
countries that have a favourable image. However, how country of origin
image affects the consumers of an emerging country on a frontier market
with high uncertainty avoidance still needs to be shed light. Therefore, this
study investigated the relationship of country of origin image with
consumer purchase intention through consumer uncertainty. The study
further explored the conditional effect of brand image between country of
origin and consumer uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach The data
for this study was collected from 400 Pakistani consumers. As this study
assessed purchase intentions and consumer uncertainty related to high
technology products of China, therefore, the consumers of the Huawei
brand were selected. Findings The findings revealed a negative influence of
country of origin image on consumer purchase intentions both directly and
indirectly through consumer uncertainty. Furthermore, the positive brand
image of high tech products was found to moderate the effect of country of
origin image on consumer uncertainty. Originality/value This study is the
first of its kind that explores the intervening role of consumer uncertainty
between country of origin image and consumer purchase intention in an
emerging market. In addition, the study highlights the importance of strong
brand image as it buffers consumer uncertainty because of stereotypes.

摘要: The aim of this study was to verify what factors influence the
likelihood of wine choice in a developing wine market (China). Previous
studies have shown that country of origin is either the first or second most
important choice cue for a product such as wine, with consumers relying on
country perception and associations. In this study, the same respondents
completed a repeated discrete choice experiment, with simulated wine
bottles on a shelf, to test the effectiveness of different messages about
Australia, a relatively new supplier of wine to this market. In the first
experiment, messages were shown in an advertorial format as a way of
building consumer associations. The second experiment assessed
messages' memory decay after approximately ten days. Wine quality ratings
were the most important attribute to influence choice, while country of
origin messages increased the relative attribute importance for country,
which practically doubled for most of the articles. The messages about
clean environment and the taste of the wine were the most effective in
increasing choice of wine in both the short and medium term. Consumer
choices changed overtime and the results provided evidence regarding the
retest reliability of repeated choice experiments. Respondents of the
control group became considerably more price sensitive in their wine
choice in Stage 2. Overall, repeated discrete choice experiment
methodology provided useful insights into the decay effect of advertorial
messages over a 10 day period and can be applied in any relatively high
involvement product type in specific markets. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All

the pattern of collaboration of Cuban researchers in Europe using the
institutional affiliation of authors and collaborators. The records of scientific
publications of the defined sample were obtained from Scopus database for
the period between 1995 and 2014. The network of collaboration was
generated using the affiliations of Cuban authors in Europe and co-authors
with worldwide affiliations shown in the records of publications of each
Cuban researcher of the study. The analysis of aggregate values of the
output of Cuban researchers in Europe (1995-2014) reveals that their
collaboration with Cuba correlates moderately with their performance in
Europe. However, when taking into account their time publishing in Europe,
the collaboration with Cuba decreases the longer they remain away from
home. The network of collaborating Cuban researchers in Europe comprises
991 different affiliations from 58 countries: 698 from Europe, 118 from
North America, 96 from Latin America and 79 from the rest of the world.
K-core analysis of centrality shows two Cuban universities sharing the
central position with another 24 institutions worldwide of which 18 belong
to higher education.

标题: Ethnocentric-beliefs and country-of-origin (COO) effect - Impact of
country, product and product attributes on Greek consumers' evaluation of
food products
来源出版物: EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MARKETING
卷: 41
期: 11-12
页: 1518-1544
DOI: 10.1108/03090560710821288
出版年: 2007
摘要: Purpose - The present study using the Consumer Ethnocentric
Tendencies Scale (CET-SCALE) aims to evaluate the level of consumer
ethnocentrism (CE) and its implications on their evaluation of food
products. Furthermore, it seeks to examine the level at which country of
origin (COO) effect is activated (country, product or attribute) per consumer
cluster of different level of CE in a food evaluation context.
Design/methodology/approach - For attaining the above aims, a
questionnaire was developed and completed by 274 respondents. The set
of countries of origin and products under consideration encompasses
Greece, Italy and Holland and yellow cheese, ham and beer.
Findings - The use of the CET-SCALE pinpointed that the sample can be
characterised as marginally ethnocentric. Exploratory and confirmatory
factor analyses justified the uni-dimensionality of CE. Cluster analysis
allocated the sample into two clusters, the ethnocentric and the
non-ethnocentric. The results showed that ethnocentrism affects not only
consumer beliefs, but also the way perceived quality of domestic and
foreign products are evaluated, culminating in the appearance of
COO-effect. In ethnocentric consumers, the COO effect is activated at the
initiatory level of the country a food product originates in (country-specific),
except when the foreign country of origin is given, where the COO effect is
activated at the level of the product type (product-specific). In the
non-ethnocentric cluster, COO does not lead to an overall acceptance or
rejection, but instead it affects the evaluation of specific product attributes
(attribute-specific).
Research limitations/implications - The survey suffers the limitation of
focusing on the influence of ethnocentric beliefs in food products
evaluation and not on their real impact on final purchasing behaviour.
Consumer ethnocentrism and COO effect are linked together, but the
stimulus that activates their link differs according to the strength of
ethnocentric beliefs held by consumers; Emerald that given, different
marketing strategies should be applied depending on the level of CE of the
target-group selected.
Originality/value - Internationally, the issue of COO-effect is
comprehensively examined, yet the literature has focused almost explicitly
on hi-tech or fashion products and services. This fact attaches particular
importance to the present study, which is concerned exclusively with food
products.

摘要: Marketed as the nugget in the seafood trade, the belly flap of the
catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) is a residual portion with minimal value due to
its elevated fat content and unsightly black peritoneal membrane. To
ameliorate these shortcomings, a variety of marinated and breaded nugget
formulations were developed and screened in the laboratory. Four of these
were evaluated further for organoleptic traits using consumer sensory
panels. Next, an in-store conjoint survey was conducted in 13 supermarkets
in eight cities in the southern United States to elicit consumers' preferences
for price ($3.28/kg, $10.12/kg, $16.51/kg), color of breading (light, medium,
dark), cooking method (fried, baked), and country of origin (United States,
China). Cluster analysis suggested three consumer segments: a
price-sensitive segment, a U.S.-origin segment, and a dark-breading
segment. Membership in the segments was related to age, ethnicity, and
education. Unusually strong preferences for higher prices and country of
origin were investigated in detail.

摘要: This study intends to analyze the impact of the country of origin on
the intention to ingest COVID-19 vaccinations by measuring Vietnamese
people's perceptions of India in the manufacture of COVID-19 vaccines. The
research is done using a quantitative method, and primary data was
obtained using a conventional manner based on the willingness of the
research respondents, who are Vietnamese persons aged 18 and up, to
contribute information. The findings revealed that perceived brand
association and perceived brand quality directly positively impact the
COVID-19 vaccine's consumption intention and willingness. Meanwhile,
while the perceived country image component has no direct effect on
consumption intention, it does have a positive indirect effect on
consumption intention through perceived brand linkage and perceived
brand quality. The findings also emphasize the importance and significance
of a country's image in brand association and quality perception. The
study's findings imply that to increase consumers' willingness to buy India's
COVID-19 vaccination, the country should develop communication
initiatives to improve consumer perceptions of the country's image, the
perceived value of the brand association, and brand quality.

摘要: The authors in this study have measured and compared the extent of
consumer ethnocentrism across different socio-demographic groups; the
relationship of consumer ethnocentrism with different demographic
variables; and the effect of country of origin on the perceptions, evaluations
and likeliness of purchase of foreign products by Indian university students.
The findings show that the Indian university students have CETSCORES
lower than college/university students in most parts of the world, viz. Czech
Republic, Estonia, and Poland and also the US. The authors therefore
conclude that consumer ethnocentrism is a phenomenon of the developed
markets and the Indian market remains open to foreign brands much to
delight of foreign manufacturers.

摘要: One appeal to consumer nationalism is to communicate information
about the use of American workers in manufacturing a particular product.
Phased narrowing, a newly developed process tracing technique, was used
to model how the impact of this information, ''framed'' differently across
experimental conditions, changes over successive decision stages in
narrowing down the choice of an automobile. In the presence of other cues,
the nationalistic cue had its greatest effect among consumers scoring high
on a scale of nationalism and when framed as ''% American workers
employed'' rather than ''% non-American workers employed.'' This framing
effect increased in magnitude across successive decision stages. These
results have implications for how and when country-of-origin information
should be provided.

摘要: Despite growing evidence about differences in the attitudes and
behaviors of consumers in emerging and developed markets, there is little
research on the differences in country of origin (COO) effects on their
evaluation, behavioral intentions (BIs), and actual purchase of imported
products. This paper introduces a new conceptual framework incorporating
consumer ethnocentrism (CET), materialism (MAT), and value consciousness
(VC) to hypothesize several differences in the influence of COO effects on
consumers from developed and emerging markets. A web-based study with
1752 consumers in four countries representing two developed markets (the
UK and the USA) and two emerging markets (China and India) shows
significant differences in the moderating influence of CET, MAT, and VC on
the effects of COO on the evaluations and BIs for a fictitious passenger car
brand, and on the actual choice of car brands owned by them. The findings
highlight the importance of looking beyond CET at other relevant
psychographic variables to understand the differences in motivations
underlying consumer perceptions and behavior towards imported
products. Journal of International Business Studies (2011) 42, 285-306.

摘要: Many factors influence brand trust, including manufacturer prestige,
product value and quality, country of origin, media marketing, experience,
and brand relationship. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of
the nation of origin on brand trust, using Vietnam as a case study for India's
COVID-19 vaccine. A total of 407 Vietnamese people aged 18 and up
participated in the survey. The findings of the study show that the nation of
origin has a significant impact on brand trust. Specifically, the perceived
country image has a negative effect on brand trust, the other two
components of the country of origin are perceived value and perceived
quality of product have a positive impact on brand trust in India's COVID-19
vaccine. Research results show that if the perceived country image of the
country of production is perceived negatively, then there will be a negative
impact on brand trust. According to research findings, people in Vietnam
who are 30 years old or older, have steady occupations, know about India,
have used Indian products in the past, and have strong brand trust in India's
COVID-19 vaccinations. India needs to boost its country's image and
develop communication to increase brand trust in Vietnam.

摘要: Immigrants and sustained international migration are transforming
developed Western countries at an unprecedented pace and scale.
Sustained international migration is also further accentuating the
already-dominant presence of immigrant entrepreneurs in the international
business landscape. These immigrant entrepreneurs often operate small
and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that primarily export to their country
of origin. However, conflicting findings suggest theoretical ambiguity in
how the level of country-of-origin export intensity influences the SMEs'
financial performance. Adopting a contingent perspective, we theorize how
and when socially embedded immigrant owners derive superior
performance from high country-of-origin export intensity. Based on a
sample of 2584 immigrant-owned SMEs and 6391 firm-year observations,
we find that SMEs led by immigrant owners with longer stays in their
country of residence and whose country of origin is geographically
proximate to their country of residence generate superior financial
performance from high country-of-origin export intensity. These findings
are consistent with the view that immigrant entrepreneurs' international
financial success is a function of network- and cognition-based advantages
linked to their level of concurrent embeddedness in their countries of
residence and origin. We also provide actionable insights for immigrant
entrepreneurs and for policy-makers tasked to design suitable export
promotion programs.

摘要: Purpose This research draws upon construal level theory to investigate
how brands can develop effective international marketing strategies using
country image versus product image across international markets with
different cultural distances between them. Design/methodology/approach
The paper reports two preliminary studies and three experimental studies in
the context of Australian brands using a "clean and green" image. The
preliminary studies explore how product versus country image and cultural
similarity are related to construal levels. Then, Study 1 examines consumers
from different countries as a proxy of cultural distance, whereas Studies 2
and 3 manipulate levels of cultural distance to test the effects on
consumers. Moreover, Study 3 also uses a behavioral outcome as the focal
dependent variable and tests the underlying mechanism. Findings The
results demonstrate a significant interaction effect between
country-of-origin positioning and cultural distance, such that an Australian
brand emphasizing the country (vs product) image gains more favorable
responses among consumers with high levels of cultural distance.
Conversely, an Australian brand emphasizing the product (vs country)
image gains more favorable responses among consumers with low levels of
cultural distance. Further, this research identifies perceived brand cultural
authenticity as the underlying process driving the interaction effect.
Originality/value The findings of this research contribute to the literature on
international marketing in general and the country-of-origin literature in
particular by examining country-of-origin positioning and cultural distance
from the construal level perspective. The research also provides managerial
implications on how to promote products in the international market across
different cultural distances.

摘要: Purpose Whilst country-of-origin (COO) effects have been studied
extensively since the 1960s, little research has explored these effects with
respect to ecological considerations. The purpose of this paper is to explore
the COO ecological image (CEI) construct by defining its facets across
consumers and professionals from two different countries, namely, France
and Australia. Design/methodology/approach Because of the exploratory
nature of the research, the authors used two qualitative techniques, namely,
semi-structured interviews and focus groups. Findings Findings indicate the
CEI construct is composed of eight dimensions, namely, policy,
technological, economic, people characteristics, natural, climatic, historical
and eco-product features. Research limitations/implications The research
provides insights into the CEI construct and justifies future studies to
develop a scale measure for it. However, the generalisability of the results
must be considered limited due to the qualitative exploratory nature of the
study. Practical implications The research offers implications for companies
and policymakers by allowing them to understand how consumers form a
CEI. It suggests new applications respective to how to leverage positive
aspects of a CEI and how to mitigate negative ones. Originality/value The
study extends the literature on COO by identifying the possible dimensions
of the CEI construct, thus providing better insights into the little-explored
link between COO and sustainable products.

标题: Does the country of origin of a halal logo matter? The case of
packaged food purchases

DOI: 10.1108/RIBS-06-2017-0049
出版年: 2017
摘要: Purpose - This paper aims to model consumers' decision to use halal
logo on packaged food products. The model primarily tests the importance
of country of origin (COO) of a halal logo as an indicator for assessing
credibility of a halal logo, and its relevance in consumers' decision to use
the logo in packaged food purchase.
Design/methodology/approach - A data set from a survey of 559
respondents from two countries was used to test eight hypotheses that
were developed based on a modified theory of planned behaviour
framework, using partial least squares procedures.
Findings - Halal certification logo was found to have COO effect on
consumers' evaluation during purchase decision of food items. Consumer
uses information on the COO of a halal logo to assess the logo's credibility
in delivering the halal food standard. The construct, along with the
constructs of religiosity and its interaction terms, subjective norms and
attitude, explains consumers' intention to consider the halal logo during
packaged food purchase.
Research limitations/implications - Generalization of the findings is limited
to the packaged food industry and to the consumer groups surveyed in the
two countries.
Practical implications - There is a need for marketers to recognize Muslim
consumers' sensitivity towards the origin of a halal logo in choosing the
right logo for their products. Logo certifiers may want to consider adopting
marketing strategies to market their certification as a credible marker of a
halal food standard.
Originality/value - The effect of COO of halal logo and its influence on
consumers' decision to use the logo in purchase decision are new to the
literature.

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this study was to examine the loyalty of
Japanese consumers to country-of-origin (COO) wine brands and how this
affects purchasing behaviour. Design/methodology/approach - A
multi-dimensional COO brand loyalty scale was developed containing
attitudinal (psychological) and behavioural loyalty dimensions. A total of
173 responses were collected using a structured self-administered
questionnaire in the Japanese language. Findings - Japanese wine
consumers have moderate levels of COO brand loyalty, with high levels of
satisfaction, moderate-high levels of inertia and price sensitivity and
moderate levels of word-of-mouth, emotional attachment, commitment
and purchase intent. Furthermore, 46 per cent of respondents exhibited
true COO brand loyalty. The conceptual definition of COO wine brand
loyalty proved to be sound with a high level of measurement scale reliability
(a = 0.884). Practical implications - The findings provide insights into the
Japanese wine market and the nature of Japanese wine consumer
behaviour. Wine exporters should focus greater marketing efforts on
Japanese women, including more wine-specific
education. Originality/value - It is the first study to develop a
multi-dimensional COO wine brand loyalty scale that includes psychological
(cognitive, conative and affective attitudinal components) and behavioural
loyalty dimensions for the Japanese wine market.

摘要: This article addresses the question of how 'Country of Origin
Information' (COI) reports-that is, research developed and used to support
decision-making in the asylum process-can be published in an ethical
manner. The article focuses on the risk that published COI reports could be
misused and thereby harm the subjects of the reports and/or those
involved in their development. It supports a situational approach to
assessing data ethics when publishing COI reports, whereby COI service
providers must weigh up the benefits and harms of publication based, inter
alia, on the foreseeability and probability of harm due to potential misuse of
the research, the public good nature of the research, and the need to
balance the rights and duties of the various actors in the asylum process,
including asylum seekers themselves. Although this article focuses on the
specific question of 'how to publish COI reports in an ethical manner', it also
intends to promote further research on data ethics in the asylum process,
particularly in relation to refugees, where more foundational issues should
be considered.

摘要: The role of the garment and textile industry is particularly important in
the economies of many countries in the context of international goods
trade. There is no denying that the garment and textile industry contributes
significantly to the economic growth in the global economy. The study
seeks to investigate the relationship between control variables and
Vietnamese consumers' intention to buy Chinese garment products. While
previous research has found some control variables influencing consumers'
intention to buy products, little research has been done about the influence
of control variables on consumers' intention to buy Chinese garment
products, in developing countries like Vietnam. In particular, the textile
industry plays an important role in export, but outsourcing is accounting for
a high proportion of trade, hence, it is necessary to increase innovation to
increase consumers' intention to buy domestic garment products. The data
is collected from a survey of 406 Vietnamese consumers' in Hanoi city and
Ho Chi Minh City. The methodology includes a mixed-method, i.e.
qualitative method and quantitative method. The quantitative method
applies SPSS analysis to measure the control variables' influence on
Vietnamese consumers' intention to buy Chinese garment products. The
results identify 1 control variable that impacts Vietnamese consumers'
intention to buy Chinese garment products, which is domicile.

摘要: Knowing the tastes and needs of consumers is a key aspect in the
literature review on consumer behaviour. This becomes even more
important when it comes to selling across borders, in international markets.
In other words, facing a different environment, both the tastes and the
needs of consumers are different compared to those that can be found in a
local market. Therefore, knowing how consumers behave takes on special
relevance in business internationalization. In order to determine this
behaviour, companies develop commercial research, which involves a large
investment of resources (especially when it comes to obtaining primary
information). Large companies usually have the resources to be able to
carry out this type of market research, but what about small and
medium-sized enterprises (SME's)? They generally do not have enough
resources to undertake a full commercial research experiment to investigate
the tastes and needs of customers in foreign market countries. The data
from this paper allow participating SME's to have a first understanding of
the tastes and needs of consumers in these countries-markets that are
being internationalized (in this case, through exports). The data provide the
precise information sought about consumers in those countries-markets
that are the target of internationalization. To this end, tourists visiting a
certain place have been analysed. Based on the information needs of these
companies (and on questionnaires found in the scientific literature), the
questionnaire for this experiment was drawn up and completed by tourists
who visited that particular place. The information collected by the
questionnaire was mainly focused on how consumers responded to some
of the main marketing variables: product, price and distribution, as well as,
gastronomic culture, "made in" effect and purchase intention. This valuable
information allowed the companies that participated in the experiment to
adapt their products to the tastes and needs of each international market
country targeted, and even led some of these companies to consider
market countries that were not previously considered for the exportation of
their products. (C) 2020 Published by Elsevier Inc.

摘要: The study develops a general analytical framework of heterogeneous
consumer preferences to examine the effects of country of origin labeling
(COOL) regulation on consumer purchasing decisions and welfare. We show
that while differences in consumer perceptions about COOL information,
namely, whether it is viewed as an attribute that differentiates products
vertically or horizontally, do not alter the nature of the market and
consumer welfare effects of mandatory COOL, the relative strength of
consumer preferences for COOL are shown to be important in determining
the magnitude of these effects. In addition, our results show that the
benchmark used (a no COOL versus a voluntary COOL regime) is critical in
evaluating the effects of the policy. We show that, under both horizontal
and vertical product differentiation, a change from a no COOL to a
mandatory COOL regime decreases (increases) the welfare of consumers
with weak (strong) preference for COOL while a change from a voluntary to
a mandatory COOL regime leads to an unambiguous loss in consumer

摘要: The article investigates the importance of values of the perceived
brand name from the external point of view perceived by the sample of
consumers. Based on the stratified survey and the quantitative research the
relationship between country of origin (COO), marketing mix elements and
the perceived brand name value was noted. The emphasis is placed on
establishing an impact of COO on the perceived brand name value and its
impact on the latter compared to the selected marketing mix elements. The
article presents the structural model of a conceptual relationship between
the COO and the perceived brand name value. A measuring instrument and
procedures used to check reliability and validity of the structural model of
the product's perceived brand name value were developed. The conceptual
model and the relationships within the model were evaluated by a
modelling that used linear structural equations on the selected sample of
respondents, which enabled verification of the conceptual model by
empirical data.

摘要: It is widely believed that structural variables such as inequitable land
distribution, lack of rural employment opportunities, and rural-urban wage
and amenity gaps influence population movements in developing
countries. Yet quantitative evidence is scant. In this paper a multilevel
model is used to investigate the effects of individual-, household-, and
areal-level factors on rural-urban out-migration in the Ecuadorian Sierra.
Data from a detailed survey carried out in 1977-1978 and from government
macro-areal statistics are used to investigate factors affecting the
out-migration of youths aged 12-25. Preliminary conclusions are presented
on the usefulness of multilevel models in studying migration and policy
implications for Ecuador.

标题: Country-of-origin (COO) brand preferences and associated
knowledge levels of Japanese wine consumers
来源出版物: Journal of Product & Brand Management
卷: 21
期: 5
页: 307-16
DOI: 10.1108/10610421211253605
出版年: 2012
摘要: Purpose - There has been no significant research undertaken in the
Japanese market on wine knowledge level and its relationship with brand
loyalty and preference for specific country-of-origin (COO) wine brands.
This exploratory study seeks to investigate these aspects and how wine
knowledge is acquired and used in buying decisions.
Design/methodology/approach - A highly structured, self-administered
questionnaire in the Japanese language was used to collect data over a
three-week period. Data include consumers from six of the eight major
regional divisions across Japan. The sample population was
female-weighted with moderate levels of education and medium income. A
ten-item objective wine knowledge scale was developed to measure
consumers' knowledge levels and to form the basis for segmentation.
Findings - Japanese wine consumers with higher levels of objective
knowledge were shown to use more intrinsic cues than extrinsic cues in
their purchase decisions, with the importance attributed to intrinsic cues
increasing as objective knowledge increases. The study showed consumers
with higher levels of objective knowledge do not use the COO cue more
than consumers with lower knowledge. Wine consumers view taste, variety
and price as the most important buying cues and are influenced by the
recommendations of people around them. Practical implications - This
research provided insights into the Japanese wine market and the nature of
the Japanese wine consumer. It is recommended that wine exporters focus
greater marketing efforts on Japanese women, including greater wine
education. Originality/value - This study is of value to academic researchers,
wine educators, industry practitioners such as restaurant
owners/sommeliers and wine exporters alike, as it provides insights into the
direction and extent of COO preferences and hence wine (country) brand
loyalty. It has a specific focus on wine knowledge and the educational
aspect thereof highlighting how this can be used for the benefit of
stakeholders.

标题: A Cross-National Study Investigating the Role of Country of Origin
and Word of Mouth in Expatriates' Decision Process When Seeking a
Healthcare Provider

摘要: In a globalized world, the expatriate community continues to expand.
Selecting trustworthy healthcare providers is fundamental for their
adaptation to a new country. Through interviews and a survey, this paper
adds to the literature by theoretically discussing and empirically analyzing
the decision process of a cross-cultural sample of expatriates in Dubai. It
focuses on evaluating the role of two cues: Country of Origin (COO) and
Word of Mouth (WOM). The findings show personal WOM is the most
influential factor. The paper also explores the effect of expatriates' origin
(developed vs. emerging countries) and their levels of fluency in English.

标题: Designers' wooden furniture ecodesign implementation in
Scandinavian country-of-origin (COO) branding

DOI: 10.1108/JPBM-07-2013-0354
出版年: 2014
摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to identify links between the
components involved in ecodesign orientations (EDOs) and the integration
of ecological criteria into Scandinavian wooden furniture industries. The
purpose of identifying these links is to recognize possibilities and gaps in
wooden furniture product development and branding opportunities to
deepen customer engagement with the Scandinavian country-of-origin
(COO) brand. Design/methodology/approach - The application of
ecodesign in Scandinavian wooden furniture industries was studied using
survey data gathered from Nordic wood furniture designers. Factor analysis
was used to identify the general types of Scandinavian design styles (SDSs)
and EDOs implemented in the Scandinavian wooden furniture industry. The
SDS and EDO impacts on the integration of ecological design criteria were
modelled using logistic regression analysis. Findings - The integration of
ecological criteria by Nordic designers influences both the perspectives on
material and process optimization and the end use of wooden furniture as
well as the recycling of these products. In contrast, our results showed no
statistical evidence of connections between different SDS types and the
integration of ecological criteria in design. Recognition of special needs of
customers valuing both high Scandinavian design and EDO could provide
strategic opportunities for wooden furniture industries to recognize new
global market potential and enhance their competitiveness. Practical
implications - Developing business opportunities for wooden furniture
marketed under the Scandinavian COO brand, and forming a better
understanding of customer expectations on the ecological information
related to different wooden furniture SDS types, is needed. This would
support developing new ecodesign strategies across the whole industry and
enhancing value proposition of Scandinavian wooden furniture within
different customer groups. Originality/value - Research findings on the
intersection of industrial brand design and ecodesign are still scarce,
especially with a special focus on strategic management and sustainability
marketing of companies. The results of our study provide entirely new
insights on the topic especially in the context of Scandinavian wooden
furniture industry.

标题: Attenuating double jeopardy of negative country of origin effects and
latecomer brand: An application study of ethnocentrism in emerging
markets

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of
ethnocentrism in attenuating the negative country of origin effect and
latecomer brands. The literature has established the importance of the
ldquocountry of originrdquo effect, and this study compares consumers in
the Asian emerging markets to developed consumers' response to cars
from China, India and Russia. Design/methodology/approach - Data on
consumers' willingness to purchase cars from emerging markets such as
China, India and Russia were collected from 3,201 respondents in those
three emerging markets and in the three most important Western car
markets, the USA, the UK and Germany. The study employed a
choice-based conjoint analysis. Findings - The results of this study
confirmed the hypothesised ethnocentrism in the emerging markets with a
strong preference for their own latecomer brands (Great Wall, Tata and
AvtoVAZ, respectively). Developed markets in contrast are more sceptical of
the Chinese, Indian and Russian car brands, but there is nonetheless
substantial potential, especially with consumers who have previously
bought latecomer brands from Asia. Utility values per brand, price,
brand-partnership, product features, warranties and also place of
manufacturing/assembly have been calculated in the
study. Originality/value - This paper should prove valuable to academic
researchers in establishing strong consumer preferences in emerging
markets for their own products, and in establishing the potential of
latecomer brands in developed markets.

标题: How important is country-of-origin for organic food consumers? A
review of the literature and suggestions for future research

摘要: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on the
country-of-origin (COO) effect in the context of organic food and develop
suggestions for further research in this area. Research has investigated COO
effects and consumer responses to organic food, but there is little research
on the combination of the two.
Design/methodology/approach - A narrative review of two research
streams and their intersection, forming the basis for the development of a
research agenda.
Findings - There are few studies analysing the possible interaction between
the effects of organic and COO on consumers' food preferences and
choices. In general, COO seems to lose impact when other quality cues are
salient. This suggests a lower impact of COO for organic than for
conventional food products. However, there is still no research on the
possible impact of organic labelling in categories where products from a
foreign country are able to demand a premium, and little is known about
consumer preferences for different import countries regarding organic
food. Six potential future research directions are suggested.
Research limitations/implications - There is a need for research that more
systematically investigates the possible interactions between COO and
organic labelling on consumers' food product preferences and choices. A
research agenda is suggested as a starting point.
Originality/value - This literature review highlights the lack of research on
the interaction between COO effects and consumer responses to organic
food. The literature review creates a basis for future research and a possible
research agenda is suggested.

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to enrich country of origin (COO)
effect in international marketing theory by adding the understanding of
temporal dynamism into COO research. Design/methodology/approach
Utilizing a qualitative and interdisciplinary phenomenological approach,
this paper analyses historical and contemporary sources triangulated with
contemporary primary interview data. The example of how perceptions of
Italians about the values typical of the British Sixties varied over time
periods is presented. Findings COO perceptions are both malleable and in
evolution. Results show that values from earlier peak periods of appeal can
be combined and recombined differently over time due to the varying
historical and contemporary resonances of COO values. Research
limitations/implications - This study focuses on COO applied to two product
areas, fashion and music, over a limited time period, in a two-country study
and so the findings are not fully generalizable, but rather are transferable to
similar contexts. Practical implications - The fact that COO is neither static
nor atemporal facilitates a segmented approach for international marketing
managers to review and renew international brands. This enriched COO
theory provides a rich and variable resource for developing and revitalizing
brands. Originality/value The major contribution of this paper is that
temporal dynamism, never before discussed in international marketing
theory, renders COO theory more timeless; this addresses some critiques
recently made about its relevance and practicality. The second contribution
is the original research design that models interdisciplinary scholarship,
enabling a thorough historical look at international marketing.

标题: The Antecedents and Consequences of Korean Brand Equity in
Myanmar: Focusing on Country of Origin Image and Advertising Awareness
来源出版物: JOURNAL OF KOREA TRADE
卷: 25
期: 3

DOI: 10.35611/jkt.2021.25.3.87
出版年: MAY 2021
摘要: Purpose - Brand equity has emerged as an indispensable marketing
tool for firms engaging their business in developing nations. This study
proposes that the country of origin image and advertising will affect the
Korean brand equity formation, which leads to repurchase intention of
Korean brands. In the study, attitude factors are applied in brand equity
theory to predict repurchase intention of Korean brands. Cognitive brand
equity, such as brand awareness, brand association, brand image and
attitudinal brand equity, such as perceived quality and brand loyalty are
considered with regards to their attitude towards the Korean brand.
Design/methodology - A total of 178 Myanmar consumers out of 200
participants who have used Korean brands answered the survey and data
were analyzed through SmartPLS 3.3.2 version. PLS-SEM is considered a
more suitable analysis to pin down and evaluate the cause-effect
relationship among all of the constructs with relatively complex models.
Findings - Our results substantiate that the country of origin image
positively affects brand awareness, brand associations, and brand image
and advertising awareness positively affects brand awareness. Brand
awareness gives positive effect only on brand association, which sustains a
positive effect on brand image and brand loyalty. Brand image only has a
positive effect on perceived quality, which again affects repurchase
intention and brand loyalty. Brand loyalty also shows a positive effect on
repurchase intention.
Originality/value - Brand equity dimensions were viewed as cognitive and
attitudinal outcomes of brand equity which affects repurchase intention.
The drivers of brand equity were considered from the perspective of
country of origin image that firms cannot control or mange, and advertising
awareness which firms can control and manage. The findings also explored
the relationships between cognitive and attitudinal brand equity.

摘要: A rapid and reliable identification of the country of origin of protected
timbers is one of the measures for combating illegal logging. Mahogany
(Swietenia macrophylla King) trees are distributed from Mexico to Bolivia
and the Brazilian Amazon and are included in Appendix II of the Convention
on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
(CITES). Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been proven to be a
promising technique for calibration based and rapid species identification.
There are only a few studies concerning the origin determination of
mahogany wood. The present study is dedicated to trace back mahogany
wood from Bolivia, Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru by means of two
different handheld NIR spectrometers. The spectra were obtained directly
from the wood samples, and soft independent modeling of class analogy
(SIMCA) and partial least squares for discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) models
were developed for data evaluation. The SIMCA model was efficient and
67-100% and 70-98% of the origins were identified based on the spectral
ranges from 1595 to 2396 nm and 950 to 1650 nm, respectively. The best
results were obtained by the PLS-DA approach, in which the efficiency rates
(EFR) vary from 90 to 100% with both spectrometers. In summary, both
instruments were highly effective and are suitable for preliminary
identification of the country of origin for mahogany wood.

摘要: In this study, a multiplex PCR detection method was developed to
identify the country of origin of Corbicula japonica (clams), a commercially
important bivalve in Asia. Specific primer sets that have a single nucleotide
mismatch at the 3 terminus were designed after sequencing the
mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene of clams identified as C. japonica originating
from Korea, China, and Japan. Using this method, each origin was clearly
identified based on the PCR products: three bands for Korean C. japonica
(100, 283, and 384bp), one band for Chinese C. japonica (384bp), and two
bands for Japanese C. japonica (384 and 100bp). These results indicate that
the 16S rRNA gene, which is usually used to identify species, can distinguish
the country of origin within C. japonica. Our multiplex PCR assay should be
a useful tool for the fair trade of the species.

摘要: Purpose - This paper seeks to evaluate the impact of the
country-of-origin (COO) effects on the consumption patterns of "made in"
Nigeria Guinness as opposed to Guinness "owned by" Ireland. It aims to
trace the trend of Nigerian Guinness in the international market taking
London as a case analysis.
Design/methodology/approach - Using a series of narratives drawn from a
sample of distributors and trade outlets (retailers) of Guinness in London,
an attempt is made to highlight the fuzzy notion of "made in" Nigeria as
opposed to the popularly acclaimed notion of "owned by" Ireland/Dublin
Guinness.
Findings - Country-of-origin effects were exhibited in the marketing and
consumption patterns of both Guinness from Oba Akran Avenue in Nigeria
and that from the renowned St James's Gate in Dublin.
Practical implications Guinness, and concomitantly Diageo and other
developed market brewers such as Heineken, may find this study's findings
useful as they consider working out ways to leverage the impact of COO for
their global marketing strategies and/or campaigns.
Social implications - There might after all be some virtue on importation
bans as Guinness from Oba Akran Avenue seems to have made the most of
a crippling marketing environment - i.e. the ban on wheat importation to
resort to local substitutes such as Sorghum, which has for the better, rather
than the worse, improved the taste of the so-called "Nigerian Guinness".
Originality/value - Overall this appears to be the first study of its kind of the
brewing industry where the consumption of a singular brand has impacted
differently based on the notion of "made-in" versus "owned-by" cues.

摘要: Considering the importance that animal welfare has attained in
developed Countries, a personal interview of 770 regular meat buyers in the
Bio-Bio and Araucania regions of Chile was conducted to determine the
importance of information regarding animal treatment prior to slaughter in
the decision-making process when buying beef, to discover the willingness
to pay more for this attribute and to distinguish different buyer segments.
Using a conjoint analysis design, those Surveyed were asked to put eight
products in Order according to their preference, given the following
alternatives: domestic or imported beef, with or without information on
animal treatment prior to slaughter and two price options. Origin and
information regarding animal treatment were more important than price.
Animal welfare is perceived as a desirable condition, but consumers are riot
willing to pay significantly more when buying meat in Order to gain
information about animal handling. Through a cluster analysis, four
segments were distinguished in each region, with consumers who consider
origin as the most important attribute predominating. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

出版年: 2017
摘要: Purpose - In the field of mobile communications services (MCS), it is of
importance to segment MCS users to support operators in better tailoring
their offers to the needs of specific customer groups. This paper analyzes
the suitability of national origin of MCS subscribers to segment residential
customers into groups with significantly diverging usage behaviors in a
sample living in one of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states
with a large share of expatriates in its population, particularly from South
Asian countries. If MCS use patterns vary considerably between nationals,
South Asian migrants and other foreign nationalities, it makes much sense
to segment customers at least into these three groups.
Design/methodology/approach - The investigation applies discriminant
and regression analysis on a sample of 4,892 residential postpaid MCS
customers in a GCC country. The sample comprises individual usage data of
2,446 national citizens and an equal number of non - nationals between July
2014 and July 2015, living in the focal country. The data set was extracted
from the billing and customer management systems of a collaborating
mobile network operator (MNO).
Findings - The results imply that national origin is a highly significant
predictor of individual MCS usage. Nationals and all expatriates primarily
differ in international voice and SMS usage but not in established national
MCS and mobile internet use intensity. Among expatriates, South Asians
consume more national and international voice minutes than migrants
originating from other foreign nations.
Research limitations - The analysis is based on objective MCS usage data
retrieved from an MNO's data warehouse. It lacks information on customer
perceptions of the utility of various MNO service categories and on other
individual characteristics, such as the customers' level of education or
language proficiency. To overcome this limitation, empirical research is
needed that incorporates additional objective customer descriptors as well
as subjective perceptual constructs.
Practical implications - MNOs are well advised to develop service bundles
and tariff portfolios specifically designed for nationals and for different
groups of expatriates.
Originality/value - The paper extends the literature on MCS usage behavior
in Arab states in general and on customer MCS usage segmentation based
on individuals' national citizenship in particular.

卷: 24

出版年: 1986-Mar
摘要: The main factors contributing to changes in the migratory movement
of Portuguese citizens during recent years have been the suspension of
permission to immigrate, restrictions placed in 1973-1974 on the entry of
additional foreign workers, and the return and reintegration of Portuguese
workers. Considerable attention has been devoted to reintegration
problems that resulted from these changes. Some of the major problems
identified include the unemployment level in the countries of emigration,
the integration of returning migrants into local schools, the reduced
possibilities for promotion, training and vocational education, lack of
programs to develop migrants' regions of origin, and the lack of flexible
credit. To counter these problems, Portugal has: 1) created the
Representation and Consultation Cabinet to act in support of emigrants, to
collect and update any relevant migration information, and to provide
liaisons with public or private entities who have an essential role in
reintegration; 2) set up the Migration Study Center; 3) decentralized
services of the State Secretariat for Portuguese Communities; 4) held
training courses on emigration subjects and developed audiovisual
information to reach emigrants; 5) set up working groups to deal with
various aspects of reintegration; 6) created regional development societies
to guide the placement of migrants' savings; 7) exempted or reduced
customs duties on the import of household furniture, utensils, and personal
vehicles when the reintegration is final; 8) exempted or reduced customs
duties on imported machines, instruments, and other capital equipment of
migrants' small industries, as long as they continue the same industries in
Portugal; 9) partially exempted the tax on capital as related to the interest
on emigrants' short-term deposit accounts; 10) instituted changes in
education that allow studies pursued in foreign schools, and earned
diplomas or degrees to be accredited at the same level or assimilated to the
corresponding Portuguese degrees; and 11) instituted supplementary
classes teaching Portuguese to emigrants. Strengthening cooperation on
multilateral and bilateral levels is essential in the future for creating better
conditions and new opportunities for migrant workers and their families.

标题: Brand types applied by emerging markets' firms: Country of brand
origin and brand use motives
来源出版物: ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS REVIEW

出版年: MAR 2021
摘要: Objective: The objective of the article is to explore the types of brands
in terms of the country of brand origin (COBO) applied by emerging
markets' firms and motives for applying them.
Research Design & Methods: A qualitative approach was used, i.e.
multi-case study of five emerging markets' firms and data triangulation.
Findings: Studied firms apply in the international market various types of
brands in terms of the COBO by 1) referring to the foreign COBO, 2)
referring to the origin from the home market, and 3) neutralising the COBO
effect. Moreover, the firms differ in terms of their international brand
portfolio: from consisting of a single brand to covering several or dozen
international - even global - regional, or local brands.
Implications & Recommendations: The dominant international branding
strategy of emerging markets' firms in terms of the COBO is acquiring/
licensing well-known international or even global brand/ brands and
creating 'occidental-style' brand. It is driven both by strategic and market
motives. The conclusions can be applied by emerging markets' companies
in their foreign expansion.

摘要: Changing patterns in protein availability was studied from 1965 in
Western countries using FAO Food balance sheets based on agriculture
production statistics. In 1995- 1997 total protein availability was very high in
the USA and Australia, but highest in Greece, France and Portugal In the
Mediterranean countries studied, as well as in Japan, where protein
availability was low in 1965- 1967, there is a steep increase in animal protein
availability, while vegetal protein availability slightly decreases or does not
change. In several countries with high levels of protein availability, a
decrease, principally of animal proteins, is observed: from 1975-1977 in
Australia and from 1985-1987 in France and Germany.
Cereals are the principal sources of vegetal proteins in all countries, with
availabilities ranging from 20 to 40 grams per day per capita. Where protein
availability from this source was highest in 1965-1967 (Greece and Italy)
there is a decrease over the four decades studied, whereas there is an
increase in countries where it was originally low (Sweden, USA, Denmark). In
Japan there is a reduction of about a third (18.6 to 11.8 grams a day) of the
rice protein availability from 1965 to 1995-1997. Vegetables are important
sources of vegetal proteins, especially in Greece, Italy and France. Pulses ore
also significant sources in Greece, Italy USA and UK, whereas in Germany,
Denmark, Sweden and France potatoes are still an important but steadily
diminishing source of proteins. In the UK, this source is actually increasing,
while the overall protein availability remains lower than in the other
countries studied. Oil crops are important contributors especially in Japan
(almost 10 grams a day/and in the USA lover 2 grams a day). Alcoholic
beverages also contribute in traditional beer countries such as Germany,
Denmark and the UK.
In conclusion, although differences in overall protein availability tend to
disappear in the countries studied, the sources of vegetal proteins are still
very different, especially the non-cereal sources. The levels of vegetal
protein availability mostly do not tend to diminish with the increasing
amounts of animal proteins. A reversal tendency, especially concerning
animal proteins, seems to appear in some high-level protein countries.

摘要: Despite extensive evidence that a brand's country-of-origin (COO)
affects consumers' brand evaluations and behavioral intentions, consumers
are often reluctant to admit this influence. Challenging the proclaimed
irrelevance of the COO concept, the present study assesses the
phenomenon of COO cue usage denial, an unconscious defense mechanism
that consumers apply to maintain an acceptable self-image. Drawing on
self-affirmation theory and based on two experimental studies (combined N
= 462), the authors demonstrate that a substantial proportion of consumers
are influenced by the COO cue when assessing brands, despite claims to the
contrary. Such consumers not only differ from consumers who do not know
a brand's COO but also modify their brand assessments and behavioral
intentions when exposed to a COO change. This study also develops a
consumer typology based on both the stated (self-reported) and actual
influence of a brand's COO, thus highlighting the importance of
segmenting consumers according to their susceptibility to COO influences.
The authors discuss several theoretical and managerial implications and
identify directions for further research.

摘要: Mexico and Canada successfully challenged the U.S. mandatory
country of origin labeling (COOL) requirements for beef and pork as
inconsistent with World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, which ultimately
led to arbitration over the level of trade lost due to the COOL measure.
During this phase of the dispute, Mexico, Canada, and the United States
provided the Arbitration Panel with estimates of the trade losses caused by
COOL that were produced using different quantitative methods. The U.S.
estimates were based on an equilibrium displacement model (EDM). This
article presents a version of the EDM used by the U.S. Government to
calculate trade losses due to COOL. The Panel developed its own analysis
combining econometric analysis and an EDM that used only supply-side
information to calculate changes in Canadian and Mexican livestock trade.
The U.S. EDM includes both the supply and demand sides of the market. We
use the U.S. EDM and the Panel's assumptions to re-estimate the value of
lost trade due to COOL. The inclusion of demand-side effects and domestic
COOL costs produces lower estimated trade damages than those produced
using the Panel's analysis, validating the EDM as a useful quantitative tool
for this type of trade policy analysis.

摘要: Many retail firms have witnessed the erosion of customer loyalty with
the rise of e-commerce and its resulting benefits to consumers, including
increased choices, lower prices, and ease of brand switching. Retailers have
long collected data to learn about customer purchasing habits; however,
many currently do not use data-mining analytics to increase marketing
effectiveness by predicting future buying patterns and potential customer
lifetime value, particularly to important segments such as loyal and
potential repeat customers. Data mining can efficiently analyze large
amounts of business data ("Big Data") in an effort to forecast consumer
needs and increase the lifetime value of customers (CLV). Previous studies
on these topics primarily focus on conceptual assumptions and generally
do not present empirically valid models.& para;& para;The present study
sought to fill the research gap by using Big Data analytics to analyze
approximately 44,000 point-of-sale transaction records for 26,000
customers of a Taiwanese retail store to understand how consumer
personality traits relate to the country-of-origin (COO) traits (brand
personality) of beer brands, and to predict potential customer lifetime value
(CLV). The findings revealed that consumers tend to purchase and
co-purchase brands with traits similar to their own personality traits (i.e.,
Japan-peacefulness, Belgium-openness, Ireland-excitement, etc.).
Significantly, customers with the group of personality traits associated with
"peacefulness" and "openness" were the most profitable customers among
the five analyzed clusters (CLV value = 0.3149, 0.2635). The study provides
valuable new insights into COO brand personality and consumer
personality traits with co-purchase behaviors via data mining techniques,
and highlights the value of extending CLV in developing useful marketing
strategies.

标题: Near infrared spectroscopy and element concentration analysis for
assessing yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) samples according to the country

摘要: Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) is used to produce a beverage
typically consumed in South America countries, and presents peculiar
land-based characteristics due to geographical origin. Such characteristics
have recently become a matter of interest for many producers as specific
features of yerba mate tend to influence product acceptance in new
markets, prices and commercial advantages. This scenario justifies the
developing of frameworks tailored to correctly classify products according
to their authenticity. This paper uses Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and
data describing concentration of chemical elements to classify commercial
yerba mate samples according to their place of origin. Aimed at enhancing
data interpretability, we propose a novel variable selection method that
applies quadratic programming to reduce redundant information among
the retained variables and maximize their relationship regarding the sample
place of origin; sample categorization is then performed using alternative
classification techniques. When applied to the NIR dataset, the proposed
method retained average 8.79% of the original wavenumbers, while leading
to 1.9% more accurate classifications when compared to categorization
using the full spectra. As for the elements dataset, we increased average
classification accuracy by 3.5% and retained 47.22% of the original
elements. The proposed method also outperformed two other approaches
for variable selection from the literature. Our findings suggest that variable
selection frameworks help to correctly identify the origin and authenticity of
yerba mate samples, making model construction and interpretation easier.

摘要: Objectives: To compare the rates of schizophrenia among 1st and 2nd
generation immigrants from two distinct backgrounds and across
sequential periods of immigration. Methods: A 30-years retrospective
cohort study (187,184 individuals) of 1st and 2nd generation East-African
immigrants (EAIs) and former Soviet-Union immigrants (FSUIs) who
migrated to Israel between 1980 and 2012. EAIs were further divided
according to waves of immigration. Period prevalence was calculated
between the years 2002-2012. Multivariate logistic regression models were
used to examine the association between immigration-related factors and
prevalence of schizophrenia (Native-Born Israelis serving as reference
group). Results: The prevalence of schizophrenia in 1st generation EAIs and
FSUIs was 1.8% and 1.2%, respectively, compared to 1.0% among NBIs
(p<0.001). The prevalence of schizophrenia among 2nd generation EAIs and
FSUIs was 1.3% and 0.8%, respectively, compared to 0.6% among NBIs
(p<0.001). Adjusted odds ratios for developing schizophrenia compared to
NBIs were 1.6 (95%CI:1.4-1.8) and 2.1 (95%CI:1.6-2.7), among 1st and 2nd
generation EAIs and 1.1 (95%CI:0.9-1.2) and 1.3 (95%CI:1.0-1.8) among 1st
and 2nd generation FSUIs respectively. Among EAIs, we observed the
highest rate of schizophrenia in the pioneer wave of immigrants with
gradual decline across subsequent waves: 2.4%, 1.9% and 1.0% for the 1st,
2nd and 3rd waves of immigration, respectively (p<0.001). Conclusions: The
increased risk for developing schizophrenia among 2nd generation
immigrants and among pioneer groups of immigrants emphasizes the
importance of persistent investment in acculturation. Further studies
elucidating the impact of country of origin and ethnic density on the risk for
developing schizophrenia are warranted. (c) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights

摘要: Purpose To examine whether the country of origin (COO) effect
actually exists in an e-commerce context, the authors intend to contribute
to the ongoing debate by measuring the COO effect through a series of
connected studies. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on cue
utilization theory, the authors emphasize the urge to investigate the COO
effect in multiple cue settings in order to reveal a more realistic picture of its
actual effect size. In contrast to most prior research, which often does not
analyze COO using methodological plurality and neglects important
contextual factors, the authors employed a four-staged research design in
an attempt to trigger and measure the COO's implicit effect size in today's
pervasive context of online shopping. The importance of brands (inhering
the COO) is decompositionally calculated relative to other extrinsic cues by
applying a Hierarchical Bayes estimation, with the COO impact being
extracted subsequently. Findings The results deepen concerns that the COO
effect actually does not exist, particularly in the more contemporary context
of online shopping. Specifically, preferences for previously favored German
products faded when controlling for brand attitude for both
high-involvement (p = 0.003) and low-involvement products (p = 0.024).
Research limitations/implications The study focused on consumers of
Generation Y, as they represent one of the most important segments in
online shopping. Findings might be replicated for other consumer
generations. The study focused on Chinese consumers, as the Chinese
e-commerce market represents the world's largest one. Future studies
might investigate other markets. Practical implications As brands, rather
than a COO effect, impacted consumer preferences, companies selling their
products to Chinese consumers online need to establish a reputation for
quality early on. Chinese companies should emphasize their COO to make
use of the ethnocentrism detected. Companies profit from the Best-Worst
Scaling investigation revealing which product categories Chinese
consumers most preferably buy online from German companies.
Originality/value To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the
first to capture the importance of COO in the contemporary context of
ubiquitous online shopping. Moreover, a more realistic and less biased way
of measuring the importance of COO is enabled by building upon three
pre-connected studies. The findings allow to develop a generalization for
both high- and low-involvement products.

摘要: Background: With immigration and minority populations rapidly
growing in the USA, it is critical to assess how these populations fare after
immigration, and in subsequent generations. Our aim is to compare death
rates and cause of death across foreign-born, US-born and country of
origin Chinese and Japanese populations.
Methods: We analysed all-cause and cause-specific age-standardised
mortality rates and trends using 2003-2011 US death record data for
Chinese and Japanese decedents aged 25 or older by nativity status and
sex, and used the WHO Mortality Database for Hong Kong and Japan
decedents in the same years. Characteristics such as age at death, absolute
number of deaths by cause and educational attainment were also reported.
Results: We examined a total of 10 458 849 deaths. All-cause mortality was
highest in Hong Kong and Japan, intermediate for foreign-born, and lowest
for US-born decedents. Improved mortality outcomes and higher
educational attainment among foreign-born were observed compared with
developed Asia counterparts. Lower rates in US-born decedents were due
to decreased cancer and communicable disease mortality rates in the US
heart disease mortality was either similar or slightly higher among
Chinese-Americans and Japanese-Americans compared with those in
developed Asia counterparts.
Conclusions: Mortality advantages in the USA were largely due to
improvements in cancer and communicable disease mortality outcomes.
Mortality advantages and higher educational attainments for foreign-born
populations compared with developed Asia counterparts may suggest
selective migration. Findings add to our limited understanding of the racial
and environmental contributions to immigrant health disparities.

摘要: Background: Guideline implementation tools (GI tools) can improve
clinician behavior and patient outcomes. Analyses of guidelines published
before 2010 found that many did not offer GI tools. Since 2010 standards,
frameworks and instructions for GI tools have emerged. This study analyzed
the number and types of GI tools offered by guidelines published in 2010 or
later.
Methods: Content analysis and a published GI tool framework were used to
categorize GI tools by condition, country, and type of organization.
English-language guidelines on arthritis, asthma, colorectal cancer,
depression, diabetes, heart failure, and stroke management were identified
in the National Guideline Clearinghouse. Screening and data extraction
were in triplicate. Findings were reported with summary statistics.
Results: Eighty-five (67.5%) of 126 eligible guidelines published between
2010 and 2017 offered one or more of a total of 464 GI tools. The mean
number of GI tools per guideline was 5.5 (median 4.0, range 1 to 28) and
increased over time. The majority of GI tools were for clinicians (239, 51.5%),
few were for patients (113, 24.4%), and fewer still were to support
implementation (66, 14.3%) or evaluation (46, 9.9%). Most clinician GI tools
were guideline summaries (116, 48.5%), and most patient GI tools were
condition-specific information (92, 81.4%). Government agencies (patient
23.5%, clinician 28.9%, implementation 24.1%, evaluation 23.5%) and
developers in the UK (patient 18.5%, clinician 25.2%, implementation 27.2%,
evaluation 29.1%) were more likely to generate guidelines that offered all
four types of GI tools. Professional societies were more likely to generate
guidelines that included clinician GI tools.
Conclusions: Many guidelines do not include any GI tools, or a variety of GI
tools for different stakeholders that may be more likely to prompt guideline
uptake (point-of-care forms or checklists for clinicians, decision-making or
self-management tools for patients, implementation and evaluation tools
for managers and policy-makers). While this may vary by country and type
of organization, and suggests that developers could improve the range of
GI tools they develop, further research is needed to identify determinants
and potential solutions. Research is also needed to examine the
cost-effectiveness of various types of GI tools so that developers know
where to direct their efforts and scarce resources.

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate hybrid brand
positioning strategies for emerging market brands based on two
positioning elements: brand country-of-origin (COO) and brand globalness.
Design/methodology/approach Researchers conducted two studies. In
Study 1, a survey of 128 brand managers of emerging market brands were
used to examine whether asymmetric positioning strategies improve brand
preference more than symmetric strategies, and if so, which type of
asymmetric strategies improves brand preference more. In Study 2, a
consumer experiment in the USA was conducted to identify the positioning
strategy for emerging market brands that improve brand preference the
most. Findings For emerging market brands, at any given value of COO or
global elements, asymmetric strategies outperform symmetric strategies in
terms of brand preference. On average, the best hybrid positioning strategy
is the one that highlights brand COO and de-emphasizes brand globalness.
Originality/value A large body of branding literature examines COO and
globalness separately without considering their co-presence in the same
brand positioning strategy. Few studies that examine the joint influence of
brand COO and globalness focus on established brands from developed
markets and do not examine whether highlighting both brand COO and
global elements equally is an effective positioning strategy for emerging
market brands. This study introduces a framework to systematically
examine the various combinations of COO and global elements in a brand's
positioning strategies for emerging market brands. By conducting two
studies, the authors empirically test the influence of various combinations
of COO and global elements on brand preference for emerging market
brands from both firm and consumer perspectives.

摘要: Background: Long-term care facilities nationwide are finding it
difficult to train and retain sufficient numbers of nursing assistants,
resulting in a dire staffing situation. Researchers, managers, and
practitioners alike have been trying to determine the correlates of job
satisfaction to address this increasingly untenable situation. One factor that
has received little empirical attention in the long-term care literature is
cultural competence. Cultural competence is defined as a set of skills,
attitudes, behaviors, and policies that enable organizations and staff to
work effectively in cross-cultural situations.
Purpose: To examine organizational cultural competence as perceived by
nursing assistants and determine if this was related to differences in job
satisfaction across countries of origin and racio-ethnic groups.

摘要: Consumer’s differentiated perception and appraisal of aproduct’s
country-of-origin (COO) exerts large influence onperception of the
COO-image (COI) and on the perceivedproduct quality.At peripheral
information processing COO-Image (COI)provides a basis to ease
requirements for informationprocessing in form of heuristics.Most of
internationalization literature examines the COOeffect with respect to
high-involvement products and in contextof cognitive processing. However
studies from Maheswaran andChen (2006) point out, that besides cognitive
influences, alsospecific emotions impact on COO-effects. Whereas
theinfluence of negative emotions like anger, sadness orfrustration on
processing and judgments could be exposed, theissue of positive
emotions’ impact still stays open.Since the question should be answered, if
emotions impacton COO-Effects, it is emphasized to focus on COO as
anaffective heuristic operating as a “halo” effect on attitudestowards a
product. Because both marketing and evolutionarytheories of emotion act
on the assumption of satisfaction ofhuman needs, latter is specified,
describing emotions ascomplex chains of events with stabilizing feedback
loops.Particularly, in the context of impulsive purchasing emotionplays a
vital role. Impulsive buyers are more emotionalized,experiencing more
enthusiasm, joy, and glee than nonbuyers.Thus “joy” leads to impulsive
decision making behavior.Drawing on the extant literature, we develop our
conceptualframework to analyze whether, and if so, how positiveemotions
(such as joy) affect the impact of COO on productevaluation. Based on an
experimental study including 130respondents, we test three hypotheses:
whether the COO hasan impact on product evaluation (H1), whether the
positiveemotion of joy has a stronger positive influence on product
evaluation than neutral emotional states (H2), and whether thepositive
emotion of joy reduces the positive relationship ofCOO on product
evaluation (H3).In the experimental design, it is hypothesized that the
latentvariable Emotion impacts on the latent variable COI and inaddition
that these latent variables, both influence beliefstowards the product in
terms of a halo effect. Latent variablesin each case get measured with
manifested variables in formof validated scales. Cause-and-effect relations
are revealed inan experiment concerning a factorial test arrangement with
a2x2 factor design, consisting of two COOs (China vs.Germany) and two
emotional states (joy vs. neutral state).Complex pictures from International
Affective Picture Systemstate standardized stimuli obtaining specific
emotions. Theapparel industry serves as the product category used in
theexperiment because impulsive buying behavior is quite commonin this
product category. Moreover, we chose women asrespondents because they
rather purchase for emotional andrelationship-oriented reasons. Products
get labeled with woventags and tags at clothes hangers manipulating
COO.Analysis of variance (ANOVA) can be counted among themost
important analysis methods in marketing research and isused for analysis,
with emotional state and COO being theindependent variables and product
evaluation as the dependentvariable. Prior to probing hypothesized
assumptions amanipulation check concerning induced emotions
wassuccessful. Participants primed with the joyful IAPS checked
asignificantly higher percentage of positive adjectives thanrespondents
primed with the neutral IAPS (joyful=.76, neutral=.61; F=7.59, p<.001). Also
the used scale of ProductEvaluation could be validated by confirmatory
factor analysis.The main effect of emotion is highly significant for
productevaluation. Following Cohen (1988), the strength of the effectsis
large (η2 = 10.8 %). Product evaluation is influenced by ahighly significant
interaction effect (Emotion * COO,EtaSquare: 6.2 %). COO has a significant
influence on productevaluation giving support for H1. Furthermore
respondents in ajoyful state evaluate the product significantly better
thanrespondents in a neutral state (MVJoy=4.89 vs.
MVNeutral=4.33,F=11.359, p<.001). This finding confirms our hypothesis
H2.Since the product evaluation is influenced by an interactioneffect, the
impact of COO must be analyzed in both cases for(1) joy and (2) neutral
state. In a neutral emotional staterespondents evaluate products of German
origin (MV=4.73)significantly better compared to a Chinese COO
(MV=3.94). Incontrast to this, COO does not affect product evaluation
whenthe respondent is in a joyful mood: The Chinese product (MV=4.89) is
evaluated better than the German product (MV =4.87). However, the
difference is not statistically significant.This finding confirms hypothesis
H3.This survey increases acknowledgement concerning emotionalimpacts
on perception of COO serving as affective heuristic,because during
induction of joyful emotional states a tendencytowards an alleviated
COO-Effect is demonstrated. Thusemotion impacts on perception of COO
information at such arate that poor COIs can be valorized, while beneficial
domesticCOIs rather level off.Insights for retailers and manufacturers’
brand managementare that they should pay attention to consumer’s
emotionalstate while developing foreign markets. They have tocontinually
encourage consumers’ positive emotion throughstore design, product
displays, package designs and sales inorder to valorize poor COIs.
Contrariwise brand managementfrom manufacturers offering brands,
featuring beneficial COIsshould mind that encouraging consumers’
positive emotions byrecommended actions, impacts on apparel featuring
poor COIsin superior manner.

摘要: A study was carried out to evaluate preferences for two cuts, four
countries of origin, two forms of presentation, brand and different prices of
beef cattle among supermarket buyers in southern Chile, and to distinguish
the existence of different market segments, through a survey of 800 people.
Using a fractional factorial design for conjoint analysis, it was determined
overall that the origin was more important (44.5%) than price (20.8%), form
of presentation (12.2%), cut (12.0%) and brand (10.5%), with preference for
Chilean and Argentinean striploin, packaged on trays, with no brand at
medium price. Using a cluster analysis, three market segments were
distinguished. The largest (52.3%) placed great importance on origin and
preferred the highest price. The second (27.5%) also valued origin with the
greatest preference for Argentinean beef, and it was the only group that
preferred the ribeye as the cut. The third (20.5%) placed the greatest
importance on price, and was the only group that preferred Paraguayan
meat. The segments differed in the importance of eating meat for their
personal well-being. The low importance of packaging and brand indicates
poorly developed marketing of this product. In order to properly insert
brand beef in the Chilean market, communication strategies must be
implemented that identify the product with superior quality and that
position the brand in the consumer's mind.
